This original collection of twenty psychotherapy tales demonstrates the glory, drama and inspiration that comes along with being a therapist. The tales reflect disorders that are common to many individuals growing up in modern day American society. In The Guilt Trap and Other Tales of Psychotherapy, Dr. Lasson takes the reader on a journey through a sampling of clients he has worked with over the past twenty years. Readers will meet Barb, whose Borderline traits test the patience and boundaries of the therapist. And Farjad, who tests his own limits with strength and resilience. Readers will also meet Joe, the angry teenager who has resisted all past therapy attempts until Dr. Lasson uses a tactical approach and Vince, a narcissist who gets the therapist to test his own moral strengths and convictions. Dr. Lasson shows that one size does not fit all and demonstrates how an "out of the box" method has benefitted his clients. Using a humanistic/existential approach, Dr. Lasson demonstrates the human side of therapy. Most of the tales come with much self-reflection, which will help clinicians and their clients appreciate the effort from therapists who truly care about the lives of the people they work with day in and day out. The Guilt Trap promises to inspire readers and beginning therapists with tales that illuminate the complexities of the human condition.
