Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-29 00:00:00 Thomas Holdren This book is based on psychodynamic conceptualisations of Personality Disorders. The author claims to treat these disorders with short term dynamic therapy (essentially is a number of extended sessions). He normally sees the client for 4 50minute sessions back to back with a 15 min break in the middle. I think any client regardless of diagnosed disorder or not, would find this process intimidating at best, and downright terrifying, particularly those with PDs. He does provide transcripts of his sessions, so the reader gets a feel for his style. I think this book is good for interest purposes, but with the significant lack of evidence base for these types of therapies, I would hesitate to suggesting this is a book one should as a manual for conducting therapy.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-01 00:00:00 William Brice I read this for my intro to addictions counseling class for a counseling minor and thought the book did a great job explaining concepts to a beginner in the field and it was easy to read too!
