Title: Enlightening, helpful, healing book about how to use therapy
Review: Someone who is just experiencing therapy may not be comfortable reading this book which really is a tell ALL from both sides of the couch. It's a little like the magician who gave away all the tricks. Still, the intellectual analysand, struggling to understand what he/she should be doing in therapy--how best to use the process--can learn from the hesitancy of Ginny who was reluctant to take brave leaps of faith, whose self-consciousness prevented becoming more conscious of her self through this relationship. Those of us who have been there, done that can get a therapeutic booster shot by experiencing vicariously the relationship between a caring therapist and a creative, blocked woman. It is compelling reading. It is NOT fiction; there is no clear, happy denoument. It's best that way.
