Good Enough Therapist

<p><em>The Good Enough Therapist</em> is a guidebook—not an instruction manual—written for beginning intermediate and experienced clinicians. It encourages readers to explore accept and embrace their flaws and failings in a way that promotes effective treatment as well as personal growth. It focuses both on craft and process—craft related to the tools the strategies and the tactics of treatment and process related to the session-by-session struggle to implement these tools in ways that speak to and illuminate the experience of living and struggling as a human being. It does not endeavor to transmit a method but a sensibility a way of being with patients that results in a deeper recognition of the therapist’s and the patient’s vulnerability resilience imagination and integrity. </p>
