Therapy Demystified
An Insider’s Guide to Getting the Right Help (Without Going Broke)
by Kate Scharff, MSW
It’s therapy, not theater. But based on the likes of Drs. Phil, Laura, and Frasier Crane, with their quick-fix solutions to complex psychological problems, it’s easy to understand why many people still view the field of therapy through a haze of doubt, confusion, and mistrust. These “media shrinks” fail to give their clients the tools to effect real change, and therapy continues to be regarded as a mythical practice, or as the realm of the rich or crazy.
From a family of renowned therapists, Kate Scharff, MSW, shares over fifteen years of expertise in psychotherapy in her book THERAPY DEMYSTIFIED: An Insider’s Guide to Getting the Right Help (Without Going Broke). This down-to-earth resource provides answers to all those wishing to gain an understanding of the practice. Whether the reader is a die-hard therapy skeptic, someone considering therapy but feeling bewildered about where to start, someone in therapy who wants more insight into the process, or someone training to be a therapist in any discipline, Scharff’s book will be an invaluable resource. For anyone wanting to know what therapy really is, how it works (how it doesn’t), and how find the right practitioner for them, THERAPY DEMYSTIFIED is the definitive consumer’s guide.
