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.
