Review Quotes: "Jesse Geller, a master clinician, researcher, and teacher has written a book vast in scope and profound in depth in which he enlightens both beginning and advanced mental health practitioners about the rich and multiple dimensions of therapeutic work. He shows us the intimate connections that exist between the personal and the professional, the aesthetic and the practical, dimensions of life as a psycho-dynamic therapist. It is not surprising that he writes on the subject of courage since he possesses a rare degree of honesty and openness about what it really takes to engage in the 'impossible profession.' "
