in therapy, but you rarely, if ever, find a book where therapists
discuss their personal reactions to and views of the therapy they
offer. In this amazing volume, Tales from Family Therapy:
Life-Changing Clinical Experiences, psychologists,
psychotherapists, and marriage and family counselors come together
to share their unique experiences in therapy sessions and how
they?ve learned that often the clients know more than they do As
you will see, and as these therapists reveal, sometimes all the
top-notch and most innovative theories in the world won?t help a
client in distress.Tales from Family Therapy isn?t just about
therapists learning a lesson or two from their clients. It's about
compassion, healing, being taken by surprise, thinking on your
toes, and encouraging people to believe in their strengths--not
just their weaknesses. These stories represent to the authors some
of the most special, most rewarding, and most puzzling moments in
all their years of therapy. They invite you to share in their
recollections and discussions of: the power of speaking accepting,
respecting, and working with the realities clients bring the
importance of first impressions in counseling how personal
narratives develop through relationship coloring outside the lines
of the dominant culture helping clients determine when rocking the
boat is needed listening to your clients and not just your theories
developing the self-of-therapist In the therapy room anything can
happen, and as Tales from Family Therapy shows, anything does.

educators, and family sciences professionals, as well as lay
readers, will find this insightful book a helpful forum where the
struggles, doubts, and triumphs of psychotherapy are revealed to
encourage and inspire those who participate in the therapeutic
process.
