The Development of a Therapist

Healing Others - Healing Self

By: Louis Cozolino

Narrated by: Stephen Bel Davies

A conversational and practical guide to the next level of professional development.

Louis Cozolino, one of our most compelling clinical writers, takes us inside the mind and heart of a seasoned therapist, carrying on the tradition of personal and professional writing begun in The Making of a Therapist. This book discusses some of the more abstract concepts and ways of interacting with clients, such as relaxed curiosity, finding the secret ally, and discovering the deep narrative. Also addressed are clinical concepts such as related states of mind, the process of change, free-floating attention, and listening with the third ear.

More than just theoretical commentary, the book offers concrete clinical advice for the experienced therapist and brings a fresh perspective to some of the most current clinical challenges, including the complexities of executive functioning; treating clients with internet addiction; and taking responsibility for your continued personal growth, clinical supervision, and education after leaving school.

Relevant and Applicable

The author presents relevant and easily applicable information in a tone that is encouraging and empowering.

Every book Cozolino makes is great.

I’m a new therapist and this one reminded of the ideas I need to incorporate with my new clients. It also added a ton of new research based ideas. I’m a super fan now.

Great for new and seasoned therapists alike!

I love Cozolino's ability to marry neuroscience and psychotherapy without reducing us to simplebrainchemicals

Great Perspective

Will be listening to this from time to time because it is an excellent book, gives you a different perspective on being a therapist!
