Product Description
The Therapist's Companion: The Enneagram Field Guide is the perfect reference for therapists, counselors and anyone who wants quick help understanding the Enneagram or themselves. Based on years of clinincal experience and field interviews by therapist Carolyn Bartlett, the book presents reports from therapy clients and individuals, all of who know their Enneagram style. As they describe their experiences with therapy and counseling, they reveal what has helped them successfully grow and change as well as what has not worked for their personality style. Therapists and counselors will find clear guidance about how to create meaningful change in their clients. Spiritual directors will discover stories that illuminate the Enneagram's transpersonal meaning, plus ways to evoke the essential spiritual qualities of each style. Enneagram enthusiasts, who already know the power of this profound system, will find inspiration and insights from fellow travelers - pointing you towards fulfilling your own true potentials. "Practical, smart and clinically astute. An invaluable handbook for therapists and counselors who want to use the Enneagram with their clients." - Michael Goldberg, organizatiional consultant; author, The 9 Ways of Wroking "A must-read for therapists and counselors, Carolyn Bartlett's suberb Enneagram Field Guide is also illuminating for anyone seeking personal growth or insights into the complexities of the Enneagram's personality styles." - Judith SEarle, author of The Literary Enneagram

Format:Paperback
I am a Life & Leadership Coach and I find that the Enneagram is one of the most powerful tools in coaching. It sheds a light on unseen patterns that are most likely holding us back from reaching our true potential. This book makes a complex and deep theoretical system quite practical. For example, for different kinds of people the author highlights what might bring them to therapy (or in my case coaching), what they are looking for in a therapist (coach) and strategies to use per type. It also brings to the coaches attention unseen patterns of their own type that might influence their coaching style and effectiveness.

of highest value
19 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
I own about twenty books on the Enneagram, and, along with The Wisdom of the Enneagram by Riso and Hudson, this is one that I regularly turn to, and give to others.
Once we have a working knowledge of the types, what can we DO with our understanding? We live at a time in which all of us are, in the words of adult development researcher Robert Kegan, "over our heads" -- our development has not caught up to the complex demands of the lives that we find ourselves in -- both personally and globally. For each of us to move toward the stabilization of higher stages of development, we must know and know well "what works" and "what doesn't work" for each personality type. This is what Bartlett offers, as described by those who identify as the types themselves.
Thank you, Carolyn! And please find a bigger publisher so that more of us can have access to your book!

Excellent resource for the client
2 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
Carolyn Bartlett's book, The Enneagram Field Guide, is an excellent resource for the psychotherapy client using the Enneagram as part of the therapeutic process. When I first read her book, her insights were so accurate that I felt as if she herself had worked with me! I have returned to her book time and again in my personal journey, to "check in" to see if my thoughts and feelings are common to those of my Enneagram type, for reassurance, and for suggestions on moving forward. I recommend this book as a helpful adjunct to personal growth and development.

More than Good Enough
17 Oct 2006
Format:Paperback
The author is a clinical social worker who's especially interested in the common boundary of traditional and transpersonal psychology models. She found in interviews that ineffective therapy can occur when therapists either argue with their client's worldview or merge with it inappropriately. She also shows how really good therapists "intervened in ways that addressed the dilemmas of the client's Enneagram style," even without knowing the Enneagram. But this is not just a guide for therapists and counselors. The descriptions illuminated my understanding of the nine Enneagram styles in ways that inform my own coaching practice. In particular, I find the notion of "good enough" counseling to be refreshing. Whether we're focused on our own personal growth or taking the role of a helping professional, it's comforting to be reminded that we don't have to be perfect - if we provide the basic safety, caring, mirroring, and containment necessary during the process of change, that's good enough.
