About this title: Although the practice of psychotherapy has been diversifying, research shows that the approach used is unimportant.

"This book examines the four main, researched measures on successful reported outcomes of therapy. 1) Extratheraputic factors - 40% 2) Client-Therapist Relationship - 30% 3) Techniques and Interventions - 15% 4) Expectancy & Holding Hope - 15%.
Reading it actually relieved me as I have been saturated with theory through my studies, particularly this last quarter. 30% of success reported by the client comes from the relationship they believe to have with the therapist. The anxiety of feeling like you have perform in the room is significantly reduced when you read that success is perceived as doing the basic therapeutic skills like empathy, sincere listening, authenticity. How easily we forget what is important while sitting with people.
Overall, it is a really quick read and for a textbook it is very easy to digest and actually fairly interesting to read."
"This book presents different factors that contribute to a client's success, highlighting the relative unimportance theoretical orientation plays in the equation. This is an excellent book for any person aspiring to be a psychologist because it allows the reader to separate the salient factors that determine positive client outcome from those factors that convolute the pursuit of effective therapy. The title alludes to the Tower of Babel in the Old Testament of the Bible. The people built the tower in an attempt to reach God. God, displeased by this attempt, destroyed the tower and displaced all the people. The people developed different languages and could not communicate with one another. This book suggests that the disciples of psychology suffer from the same inability to understand each other. Psychologists become so entrenched in their chosen theoretical orientation making it impossible for a genuine dialogue to occur between those who follow a different theoretical orientation. This book encourages open communication between psychologists in all disciplines."
