Su verdadero yo di George Weinberg
9684581032
I found this book to be a both practical guide and plain spoken explanation of what it means to be in therapy and to be a therapist. While Weinberg might seem a tad dated, phone etiquette and dress chapters are a bit painful, he has some insightful points to make about the potential to help others change for the better.
