This book was a required textbook for one of my counseling courses, along with two others. Like most University students, I didn't read this book but rather skimmed it for the necessary information in order to pass. I liked what I had initially read but it sat on my bookshelf while I attended to the other required course readings.

A few weeks ago I was reading an issue of Psychotherapy Networker. An article written by Kottler caught my attention and reminded me of the book gathering dust on the shelf. I decided I would make the time to give the book a proper read. And I'm glad I did.

This is the fourth edition of the book with the original being released over twenty-five years ago. Kottler writes from the experience of a master therapist, prolific author, professor in the Department of Counseling at California State University, Fullerton, and also as the head of the Madhav Ghimire Foundation, which provides scholarships to girls in Nepal. The latter - his work with at-risk girls in Nepal - was the focus of the article I was reading which drew me back to his book.

The most important take-away I gleaned from this book was that counselors are human. Complete with human goals, triumphs, tests, and even fallacies.

Kottler begins by addressing the many reasons why therapists enter the field of counseling. What draws a person into this type of profession? He dissects the vulnerabilities, experiences, and struggles therapists face. This is by far, not a book that glamorizes the field of counseling. Kottler brings up cold, hard truths about therapists not practicing what they preach, struggling to maintain a professional identity, and the pressures of being a mentor.

How do therapists separate their personal and professional lives?
