About the book

"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; and why, in the end, talking and insight are not enough to change behavior."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: UNTIL THE END of the nineteenth century, few people with emotional disorders went for "help," i.e., professional treatment.
