This is essential reading for every woman in therapy. Can't recommend enough.

The most helpful book ever written on the pain of falling in love with your therapist

Reviewed in the United States on 12 May 2016

This is the most helpful book I've ever read about psychotherapy. Although there are many treatises on transference, I have never found anything that truly describes what it feels like from the client's point of view to fall in love with your therapist, and all of the distortions (and, unfortunately, abuses and breaches of ethics) that can develop as a result, from both sides. The description of the client-therapist interaction as an "approximate relationship" was immensely helpful in trying to make sense of a relationship that just isn't normal or easily understood. The reminder that the longed-for LOVE is mostly a fantasy that must be relinquished was tremendously powerful for me in helping me to in fact do so. The only thing I wish was further addressed is how agonizing it is to be obsessed day and night by the image of a person you can't have. Thank you, Deborah Lott, for writing this fabulous book. I passed it on to my therapist so that he might finally understand what I have been suffering.

Amazing

I'm adding to this because I feel others should know specifically how this book helped me. I went through a very difficult time with my therapist, including many boundary transgressions that left me very confused and with no one to turn to because our therapy had to end because we had become too close personally. I felt alone and very strange for the many feelings I was having and felt very odd indeed. When I read this book, it was amazing to see that I was not alone in the many feelings I had in reaction to this experience. I had been reading many many books looking for something that could help me. I even read text books trying to understand what was happening to me emotionally. It was only the words of these other women that spoke to me, because many of them experienced similar thoughts and feelings, even if their experience wasn't exactly the same.

This book really nails the therapeutic relationship by describing a variety of reactions to therapy, including erotic transference and feelings involved in boundary transgressions. It is no doubt a book that therapists should read to better understand their clients and a book clients should read that are having difficulty understanding the wide array of feelings that manifest themselves during therapy. Because it comes from the perspective of many different clients, it is a nice sampling if experiences. I bought a copy and had it sent to a therapist who is a friend of mine. It should be required reading for students with the ambition of becoming therapists.

best book on the psychotherapy relationship i've ever read...

Reviewed in the United States on 10 February 2011

"Should be required reading for anyone in the field of Psychotherapy. Therapists & Clients would find a more meaningful relationship if they were made aware of the discoveries written about in this book. It would open up dialogging between therapist & client to discuss transference & relieve the shame of having deep feelings develop in the relationship. It also gives clear observations of what is a healthy & ethical therapeutic relationship & when it's time to end the relationship. There should be no sexual relationship with your client during or after the ending of treatment. There is a two year period of time when any contact should be made & under most circumstances no romantic connections should be acted upon after that two year period of time. This book is filled with so much information written after extensive interviews with clients & therapists & those in the field of Psychotherapy. It is thorough & the best book written on the subject of the relationships that develop during psychotherapy between the client and her therapist. I am rereading it b/c it is that good & there is so much material covered. If you are thinking of going into therapy I highly recommend this book to give you a better understanding of what to expect & how to handle the course of your own therapy."

Very fast delivery

Reviewed in the United States on 6 December 2018

It arrived prior to the expected date... But the book is in mediocre shape. Several of the pages are bent (obviously the previous owner has never heard of a bookmark), and the cover is quite stained. I'm guessing the previous owner was in love with her therapist, as all those chapters are marked. Hopefully she got help lol. Still readable, but disappointed in the overall shape.
