Is psychotherapy really worth the time and money millions of Americans put into it? Is a therapist any better at helping us deal with our problems than a good friend, bartender, spiritual counselor, or family member? What makes therapy special? How does it work when it works, and why does it sometimes fail?

In Talk Is Not Enough Willard Gaylin, M.D.,one of the nation's most honored psychiatrists, unlocks the mysteries of the so-called talking cure, which, despite its present-day popularity, is widely misunderstood and highly controversial. In an enlightening tour of the therapeutic process, Dr. Gaylin speaks plainly but profoundly about the art of therapy, what the roles of the patient and therapist should be, and what it takes on the part of each for the patient to get better. Along the way he addresses such important issues as:

  • Whom therapy can help and who won't benefit from it
  • Why the past really matters, and why therapists put such stock in childhood experiences
  • Why the therapist's personality is as important as his or her training and knowledge
  • Why therapy often seems endless
  • Why, in the end, talking and insight are not enough to change behavior

    With psychotherapy under heavy assault from the drug enthusiasts and from managed care companies that will pay for only a limited number of sessions, Dr. Gaylin offers a wise and eloquent guide for those in therapy or contemplating it, as well as for those simply curious about what motivates people and what it takes to develop a sense of well-being and self-worth. Talk Is Not Enough is a fascinating glimpse into the labyrinthine complexity, the mystery, and the majesty of the human mind.
