I'd participate in a discussion of "In Session". And I think that GG really needs to get it read...

I think it should be required reading for therapists, even gg who knows a lot of it already. :)

I think it would be interesting to read again since, when I first read it, I was pretty green as far as therapy goes. And gg, if you're concerned about time, it was a pretty quick read, if I remember correctly.
Dinah - I just started reading "Bad Therapy: Master Therapists Share Their Worst Failures". I ordered it when I was in the throes of all that insurance nonsense with my T. Something about the title just caught my eye, I guess ;). Anyway, I'd be up for that one, too. Really, any of the suggestions seem good to me.

"In Session: The Bond Between Women and Their Therapists"
How long do people need to obtain it?
Should we do it chapter by chapter or wait till the end?

I think it would be better. Can we keep the thread here if we compare ourselves and our therapy experiences?
It is May 2nd. How long to read chapters for everyone? Two weeks?

...and put off reading the new books I got the other day "Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Learning to Listen from Multiple Perspectives" and "Warming the Stone Child" and
"The Anger Workbook for Women: How to Keep Your Anger from Undermining Your Self-Esteem, Your Emotional Balance, and Your Relationships"And knowing me, I'll add something else to it to get the free shipping. Sigh. Gotta get another bookcase, I think.
Gosh, I sound petulant. I do want to read it. And I will enjoy reading it with others.

I don't know how long the chapters are. Two weeks sound good for the first one, since some may need to order it.
So the fifteenth or sixteenth? Is one day of the week better than another?
And yes, hopefully if we read these books in the context of our own therapies, Dr. Bob will consider this board appropriate.
((((Psychological Board posters))))
I love all Babble posters of course. But Psychology is near and dear to my heart.

> The other book that I've found really helpful is "Metaphor Therapy: Using Client-Generated Metaphors in Psychotherapy". This book talks about how metaphors (particularly those used spontaneously by the patient) can be used to promote change. I have found myself using this technique myself (to my therapist's chagrin...), and it has been very useful for me. So this might be an example of a book that can show a particular technique that we could learn to use ourselves. However, there are NO copies of this title in any library in my state (I found it at a used book store). So books like this could be harder to obtain.
Thanks so much for talking about this book falls. I've thought of getting it a few times, but was worried I'd be wasting my money on another wishy washy fad thingy. I'm gonna order it in for sure now :)

It might be interesting to see if those of us who've read it before react differently when we're in a different phase of therapy.

Nope, I have all kinds of other books I want to read on my nightstand. I think y'all told me to clear them all off and just put this one there. But I don't own it yet. But I will in about 10 days.

Dinah - you're awesome! Many thanks to you and Dr. Bob for getting and having her here.

Should arrive in 2-3 weeks depending on where they have to get it from (NZ is fastest, Australia isn't too bad, US takes a while...)

(You can ignore my nagging emails then.) :)
I'd say yes, since there are some people who haven't read it yet.
Do you think it's ok to go ahead with the book club schedule as planned? With Ms. Lott being a guest expert in late July?
Big ole hug to you, Dr. Bob. :))))

Doesn't the end of July sound better for Deborah Lott to be a guest expert so that everyone can have a chance to read?
I don't want to answer for everyone.

>Putting my own anxiousness (is that a word?) aside, I think the end of July sounds best so everyone who wants can have a chance to read her book before she's here.

That is so cool! Now we are setting a standard for every book we'll read. We'll have to insist on an author discussion as well :)
Oprah has nothing on us!
