Inhaltsangabe
In this lively, down-to-earth handbook, veteran reporter Carl Sherman guides you through the labyrinth of modern psychotherapy. How do you chose between hundreds of available therapies–offers by psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and counselors–to help you conquer painful feelings, dysfunctional relationships or out-of-control behavior? What are the sessions like? What do they cost? Will you be required or encourage to take medication? How will you know if it’s working and when it’s time to stop? Sherman deconstructs the tower of psychobabble, giving you the tools you need to get the most out of therapy.

Got therapy? If not, or even if you do but are unsatisfied with it, How to Go to Therapy might come in handy.

From psychodynamic therapy to pharmacotherapy to eye movement desensitization and retraining, Sherman breaks down this potentially intimidating but increasingly relevant aspect of modern life. Readers new to the therapeutic world as well as those in one kind of therapy who want to try another will appreciate Sherman's guidance.
