About the Book

This book is about a personal journey, an adventure that has the potential to change one's entire outlook. It is an introduction to psychotherapy that provides clear and direct answers to commonly asked questions about psychological treatment: How do I know when to enter therapy? How do I go about selecting a therapist? Does psychotherapy really work? Do I have to relive my past? Are my dreams important? When should I end psychotherapy? And much more.

About the Author :
Dr. Gerald Amada was one of the founders and a director of the Mental Health Program, City College of San Francisco. The author of seven books, he lives in San Rafael, California.

Review :
A brief, clear, and thoughtful book for the layperson…It is refreshing to read a book for lay audiences that neither disparages the work of psychotherapists nor offers the moon. Gerald Amada's approach is humane, considerate and generous, presenting each issue with anecdotal and thoughtful consideration.... A long overdue, yet welcome addition to mental health literature. Admirable...Carefully written, compassionate, wise, witty-a prudent primer of psychoanalytically slanted psychotherapy and the processes that rouse themselves in its course. Written in a very warm and readable style. Those who are wondering about therapy for themselves or for someone close to them will have their questions answered.... The author answers the reader's questions in clear, non-technical language. Psychotherapy, he believes, is a fundamentally rational process-and certainly nothing to be afraid of. An unusually valuable guide through the usually dense thicket of trying to describe to the layman what therapy is really all about ... Consistently interesting and a useful tool in our persistent fight against the stigma of mental disability. Amada gives a lucid overview of the history, the nature, the session-to-session experience of psycho- therapy.
