The Beginning Psychotherapist's Companion
bookcover "I wish The Beginning Psychotherapist's Companion had been available when I began seeing clients. Without talking down to readers or overwhelming them with excess detail, Jan Willer manages to educate them about virtually everything their graduate programs left out of their training. The writing is lively, readable, and full of clinical illustrations that support the author's incomparably useful advice. This book not only fills a critical gap in the literature for early-career practitioners, but also can be tapped by therapists of any experience level when they inevitably find themselves facing new clinical challenges."

"Jan Willer has written a book that is a lodestone for new therapists and should be a must-read for them. She has provided much needed information on numerous topics, some of which are not discussed elsewhere, and presented the material in a way that is very readable and easy to comprehend. Additionally, this book is diversity sensitive and uses examples to illustrate many of the topics. I learned things in reading it (even though I've been in practice for 25 years) and recommend it highly.&
