A guidebook to understanding and getting the most out of therapy. This book is intended for clients who want to know how to get the most out of a therapeutic relationship. Tamara Kaiser explains what therapy is (and isn't), how therapy works (what makes change happen), and elaborates on therapist-client dynamics, including such issues as power, boundaries, trust, and termination.

Kaiser provides a wealth of easy-to-understand therapeutic information...provides clear direction for the client.--Doug Greenlee
If you are thinking about change, this book will help you decide whether to try therapy, what to expect, and when to leave. Like Penn and Teller ripping the secrecy from magic, Kaiser reveals to ordinary people what goes on behind the closed door of therapy. You learn about core issues and relationships that can lessen your anxieties and enrich your life. This book is all about hope, and how to find it in oneself--with the help of a caring therapist.--Pauline Boss, author of Loss, Trauma, and Resilience
[A] reassuring and informative therapy guidebook...comprehensive, contemporary and readable.... I highly recommend it to therapists and patients alike.--Betsy Horton, LICSW
If I'd read this book prior to training, my development as a therapist would have been greatly enhanced, having seen the process from the client's point of view.--Gail Nagel LISW-CP, DPNAP
