> The other book that I've found really helpful is "Metaphor Therapy: Using Client-Generated Metaphors in Psychotherapy". This book talks about how metaphors (particularly those used spontaneously by the patient) can be used to promote change. I have found myself using this technique myself (to my therapist's chagrin...), and it has been very useful for me. So this might be an example of a book that can show a particular technique that we could learn to use ourselves. However, there are NO copies of this title in any library in my state (I found it at a used book store). So books like this could be harder to obtain.
Thanks so much for talking about this book falls. I've thought of getting it a few times, but was worried I'd be wasting my money on another wishy washy fad thingy. I'm gonna order it in for sure now :)

It might be interesting to see if those of us who've read it before react differently when we're in a different phase of therapy.

Nope, I have all kinds of other books I want to read on my nightstand. I think y'all told me to clear them all off and just put this one there. But I don't own it yet. But I will in about 10 days.

Should arrive in 2-3 weeks depending on where they have to get it from (NZ is fastest, Australia isn't too bad, US takes a while...)

(You can ignore my nagging emails then.) :)
I'd say yes, since there are some people who haven't read it yet.
Do you think it's ok to go ahead with the book club schedule as planned? With Ms. Lott being a guest expert in late July?
Big ole hug to you, Dr. Bob. :))))

Doesn't the end of July sound better for Deborah Lott to be a guest expert so that everyone can have a chance to read?
I don't want to answer for everyone.

>Putting my own anxiousness (is that a word?) aside, I think the end of July sounds best so everyone who wants can have a chance to read her book before she's here.

That is so cool! Now we are setting a standard for every book we'll read. We'll have to insist on an author discussion as well :)
Oprah has nothing on us!

Dinah, that's great! What a great idea you had, and way to follow through.
Thanks Dr. Bob for making it happen.

Yes, end of July makes sense.
Dinah, you are amazing!

Late July is perfect for me - my therapist will be on vacation. That's when I carry her book around with me anyway!

(Probably annoyingly so)
I've been wriggling all over with excitement and thumping my leg on the floor.
I'm glad the timing works out well for you. I think that's a perfect thing to be thinking about when those darn old therapists desert us to go have a relaxing time. :)
I brought "In Session: The Bond Between Women and Their Therapists" in to my session today to share my excitement with my therapist. We ended up talking about how many of us thought it should be required reading, along with the Psychology Board. Except for him of course, re. the Psychology Board. He's ok with my talking about him here, not always nicely. He says it's good that I have somewhere to process therapy. So I pointed out the part in the book that said that. :)) He seemed sort of interested, and there's at least a snowball's chance in h*ll that he'll read it himself someday.
But here's the other part that I'm soooo pleased with me about. Get ready?!!!
I told him I couldn't loan him my copy because he never returned my copy of that book that I lent him when he agreed to read it for his usual session fee per hour because it was so important to me. I thought I'd never ever ever ever have the nerve to mention that!!!
Ooooh, my pleasure with myself is ever so great this week. If you add it to my pride at the hard work I did in therapy, I just may become insufferable. I haven't felt this dang good about myself since my Wunderkind years.

Way to go Dinah - what was his reaction when you mentioned the book? Did he sheepishly admit to putting the book in a pile of forgotten reading material?

We are here, we are here, we are here!

I'm so excited to have Lott be a guest!!!! I love this book. I have about worn my copy out from all the reading. I wish more books were written from the clients perspective.
Maybe we should all get together and compose a book with our experience of our therapy or therapists.LadyBug
