Summary
For more than twenty-five years, On Being a Therapist has inspired generations of mental health professionals to explore the most private and sacred aspects of their work helping others. In this thoroughly revised and updated fourth edition, Jeffrey Kottler explores many of the challenges that therapists face in their practices today, including pressures from increased technology, economic realities, and advances in theory and technique. He also explores the stress factors that are brought on from managed care bureaucracy, conflicts at work, and clients' own anxiety and depression. This new edition puts the spotlight on the therapist's role and responsibility to promote issues of diversity, social justice, human rights, and systemic changes within the community and the world at large.

This is an interesting yet hard to get into book about the inner struggles of being a therapist. Some popular books relating to medicine have stories related to specific cases. This book is no exception, but where other books have the tendency to tell too much detail, this book gave almost no detail of the cases. This book ends up being a long string of antidotes and guidelines to therapists. I find my mind wandering often as this book plays and regret spending the money on it. If you are a therapist or thinking of being a therapist this book might be for you. If you are interested in what therapists do and how to improve your own well being, this is not the right book.
