The Gossamer Thread (My Life as a Psychotherapist), by John Marzillier (digital)

$12.00

(For the print edition, see this link)

An honest and accessible insight into the often closed world of psychotherapy.

This book is a memoir of the author's professional life as a psychologist and psychotherapist.

It shows his progression from a hard-nosed behaviour therapist with a strong commitment to science to a psychodynamic therapist with an interest in narrative.

Along the way he shows the way the main schools of psychotherapy (behavioural, cognitive, psychodynamic) work, drawing on case material from his professional practice.

He shows the mistakes he made and the lessons he eventually learned from his patients.

His focus on clinical cases enables readers to see psychotherapy in operation and get drawn into the ups and downs of trying to help some fascinating and often tricky people who rarely conform to what is expected of them.

The book is free of jargon and can be enjoyed without any prior knowledge of psychology or psychotherapy.

It is designed to entertain and inform the general readership about the mysterious world of psychotherapy, what goes on behind the consulting room door.

It will be of particular interest to the increasing number of people who encounter psychotherapy either through their own experience of seeking help or the experiences of family and friends or through reading of popular books such as those of Oliver James and Irving Yalom.

It should also prove invaluable for those interested in training as a clinical psychologist, counsellor or psychotherapist.
