Art of the Psychotherapist

James F. T. Bugental, Ph.D., has taught, conducted workshops, lectured, and consulted at over thirty universities and colleges and as many clinics and hospitals in the United States and Canada. He is a past president of the California State Psychological Association and author of The Search for Authenticity and other books.

"An extraordinarily useful book. Its task is to illuminate the inner, intimate aspects of therapy that most therapists find too subtle and complex to translate into language. Using an imaginative array of clinical examples and personal reflections, James Bugental, a master therapist and teacher, has succeeded marvelously in describing the art of psychotherapy. This book has vigor, courage, practicality and lucidity, but above all, it has wisdom. I know of no psychotherapist who would not be enriched by reading it. —Irvin D. Yalom, M.D., professor of psychiatry, Stanford University School of Medicine"
