A Guide for Effective Psychotherapy gives the layperson everything they need to know before seeing a mental health provider. Obtain a referral, make an appointment, and off you go to see the psychotherapist, right? No, WRONG! Dr. John Morella offers a step-by-step guide to enhance your therapy even before you walk through the therapy door. Every year millions of Americans who seek help for their emotional, mental and personality disorders do so without understanding the complexities of psychotherapy. "Most of the angst and anxiety I see on people's faces is attributed to the lack of basic information that would empower them to a more vital role in their therapy process," Morella states. Includes case studies and theraputic differences.
