Although the impact that clients can have on therapists is
well-known, most work on the subject consists of dire warnings:
mental health professionals are taught early on to be on their
guard for burnout, compassion fatigue, and countertransference.
However, while these professional hazards are very real, the
scholarly focus on the negative potential of the client-counselor
relationship often implies that no good can come of allowing
oneself to get too close to a client's issues. This sentiment
obscures what every therapist knows to be true: that the
client-counselor relationship can also effect powerful positive
transformations in a therapist's own life.
"How Clients Transform Their Therapists" is Jeffrey Kottler and Jon
Carlson's testimony to the significant and often life-changing ways
in which therapists have been changed by their patients. Kottler
and Carlson draw not only upon their own extensive
experience-between them, they have more than fifty years in the
field-but also uponlengthy interviews with dozens of the country's
foremost therapists and theorists. This novel work will present
readers with a truly unique perspective on the business of therapy:
not merely how it appears externally, but how practitioners
experience it internally. Although these stories paint a complex
and multi-layered portrait of the client-counselor relationship,
they all demonstrate the profound and unexpected rewards that the
profession has to offer.
