Letters to a Young Therapist

I bought one for a new therapist and after looking at it, I bought one for myself. Despite the fact that I have been a psychologist for over 40 years. It was beneficial and I enjoyed other individuals perspectives

Book came brand new and was a gift! My sister who is a young therapist loved it!

As somebody pursuing a career in this line of work, I found this book extremely beneficial for a young therapist just starting out. A read I recommend often to others.

as a therapist a really liked and related to this book, a quick easy read

This is a beautiful ode to therapy written with amazing wisdom. Renewing and inspiring balm to the senses to those of us who may be teetering on the verge of burn out.

This book is great.

As a therapist, I was given this book when I first began practicing, and I now give it to all of my interns when they graduate. Invaluable advice and wisdom!

Great

A colleague recommended this book after she received it as a gift. The author’s approach was encouraging and normalized the wide range of feelings we feel as therapists. I read it as I was about to begin a new role and it helped me feel more self assured as I transitioned.

Disappointing! Therapist chatter about her mundane daily life written in the form of letters to a younger colleague in supervision. Can't avoid the question why she wrote it all up - Laura, the addressee, must be pitied!

to me, slushy, over sentimental and polly- annish.

LTaYT is a very accessibly written book and highlights some of the major underlying issues that a psychotherapist encounters in the context of working with clients. In my opinion this is also a great read for clients as well. The writing is simple, or should I say it doesn't get any simpler. An invaluable resource for a practicing psychotherapist as well as for the client. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable and soothing.
