About this work

Description

"This book of essays by clients provides therapy with its biggest challenge to date by highlighting the concerns of those who have experienced it first-hand. The anthology, the first of its kind, seeks to reveal the courage as well as the distress of these stories, and to offer constructive analytical insight as to where current therapy practices are failing us." "Shouldn't I Be Feeling Better By Now? offers a touch-paper for lighting an urgently needed debate. Carefully designed to bring together a range of viewpoints in constructive dialogue, it includes material from a host of internationally respected therapists. It is an essential read for students, practitioners, clients and ex-clients of counselling and psychotherapy."--BOOK JACKET.
