Opis

This book faces the inevitability of death and taxes, and sets out to see how the psychological therapist can help a person to live well while life is available, and to face the endings that confront all of us with honesty, and the acceptance of our human fragility. Therapists suffer through the fears and failures of the people they see as well as through their own endings. These difficulties can help each one to be more understanding and helpful or can lead to disaster. This book is about making sure that we use experience as well as theory constructively.
