Description
A bestselling author and gifted healer's guidance on how therapy can restore us in an increasingly stressful world "A wise and compassionate book." -Washington Post In Letters to a Young Therapist, psychologist Mary Pipher shares what she has learned in thirty years of clinical practice helping warring families, alienated adolescents, and harried professionals restore peace and beauty to their lives. Through an exhilarating mix of storytelling and sharp-eyed observation, Pipher reveals her refreshingly inventive approach to therapy-fiercely optimistic, free of dogma or psychobabble, and laced with generous warmth and practical common sense. Whether she's recommending daily swims for a sluggish teenager, encouraging a timid husband to become bolder, or simply bearing witness to a bereaved parent's sorrow, Pipher's compassion and insight shine from every page. Now updated with a foreword discussing how Covid and the digital sphere have divided us from our true selves, each other, and the natural world, Letters to a Young Therapist is a powerfully engaging guide to living a healthy life.
