   I feel extremely grateful that I came across this. Even though I follow person-centred theory, I appreciated the knowledge in this text and found that it enhanced my practice greatly.
   
   I found the text easy to read and very relatable.
   I felt moved and deeply privileged to read some of the stories from miss DeYoung's practice.
   
   I laughed when I read that Miss DeYoung considers the person-centred approach to be a 'primer' for relational work. I would love to debate with her one day!

   This primer is really fantastic, very thorough and very, very accessible. It's written in almost a conversational style so that I felt as if the author was just speaking to me. I am almost finished with my psychoanalytic training in a very relationally-inclined institute in NYC, so this book was mostly a review for me. However, if you don't know anything about psychoanalysis, this is the book to start with. There is no other out there that speaks so clearly.
   
   My absolute favorite chapter was Chapter 5, where DeYoung shares a personal struggle in her own analysis. It takes a tremendous courage to be this vulnerable in a book -- and by doing this, she actually demonstrates the vulnerability required of a good therapist rather than just talking about it. Yes, we all have our blind spots and difficulties -- the point isn't to be perfect, but to own our stuff and use it to work through whatever comes up. I want to thank the author for this honesty because it inspired and encouraged me to continue working on my own book as well.
   
   This is indeed a wonderful text and I think it can help a great deal of beginning students to understand the process of psychotherapy.
