Heart and Soul of the Therapist

In The Heart and Soul of the Therapist, Dr. Stephen Howard explores the powerful and intimate relationship of the therapist and client, showing how attention to this interaction can guide therapeutic work. It is the therapist-client relationship that provides the opportunity and context for change. Whatever the modality of treatment, it is the therapist's use of himself or herself within the relationship that makes the conditions for healing possible. The use of the therapist's self is explored here in language that is clear and engaging.
