Bad Therapy: Master Therapists Share Their Worst Failures

The book demonstrates how even master therapists struggle with their own difficult cases and thorny professional challenges. Told through the narratives of their most stunning failures, two dozen of the world's most famous practitioners talk about the mistakes, misjudgements and miscalculations that haunt them. The book teaches students how experts process their own failures, and learn from them, and offers a rare glimpse into the hearts and minds of the profession's most famous authors, theoreticians and leaders. 'Kottler and Carlson have done it again. They again demonstrate their rich creativity and persuasiveness by assembling the therapy mistakes of the masters...This book will validate the halting efforts of neophyte and veteran counsellors and therapists who are often over self-critical of their own performance.' - Robert E. Wubbolding, Ed.D., University of Cincinnati
