3.5, good read for newbie therapists or seasoned T's in need of some helpful reminders and the validation that comes with "I knew that already!"
katelynchilds's review against another edition
This was a fairly decent overview for beginning therapists, but there were a few things that were a bit outdated and somewhat controversial (comment about BD clients, for example). Overall, could be a good primer for therapists in grad school or just leaving school and starting residency for things to consider/look out for.

I read this book as part of my professional development plan during my practicum year to become a therapist. There are a lot of gems, and it's clear from Cozolino's body of work that he cares deeply about therapy. I see value in sitting with and integrating a lot of the content from this book; I also recognize that there are many moments when it didn't resonate with me on a visceral level, so there is some je ne sais quoi I was craving and didn't find.
The line I imprinted and will carry forward "In psychotherapy, understanding is the booby prize."

Helpful and inspirational little book for new therapists! You should expect a little motivational pep talk and some helpful refreshers in this book, but nothing groundbreaking. I appreciate it for what it is.

I read this before starting my internship last year, and again this week (the week I start my career). Full of great reminders & helpful for getting back into the “therapy head-space.”
