About this title: Since it was first published in 1986, On Being a Therapist has become a classic book in the field and has proved to be one of the most inspiring sources of guidance for aspiring and seasoned practitioners alike. Jeffrey Kottler provides a candid account of the profound ways in which therapists influence clients and, in turn, are impacted personally and professionally by these encounters.

"These worlds were a balm: "Historically therapists were always poor. They were Buddhist monks, Socratic cholars, priests, wanderers, healers. What they lacked in material affluence, they made up for in wisdom and purity of the soul. They felt that to be optimally clear, to understand the nature of all things, to enter someone else's soul, to take away pain, they would first have to leave behind their attachment to the material world. Only in the last century have therapists attained material rewards in addition to (or instead of?) their spiritual power? Pg. 204"
"I've been calling this book "supervision in a book" because Kottler touches on everything that is important and confusing and exciting about being a therapist. This is a must read for all new therapists as well as any experienced therapist who needs a reminder of why he or she became a therapist in the first place."
