Product Description

Product Description
Cynthia Rogers is interested in the stresses a psychotherapist encounters over the course of his or her professional life and how these might be addressed. Running a practice that provides a living is complex in itself, but how do people manage when life events or their own insecurities intrude. Psychotherapists with thriving practices know that, at some stage, they will have to confront a complain, suicide, a bad debt, a lack of referrals or deal with the impact of personal life events. These events are part of the territory and a way has to be found for professionals to take them in their stride however stressful they may be.

Psychotherapists traditionally learn from experience and Rogers has distilled her own and others′ experience to throw some light on the shadow side of a psychotherapist′ s life. Experienced psychotherapists are emerging from the consulting room and becoming supervisors, trainers and consultants. They are also moving between private practice, GP surgeries and the voluntary sector. Rogers describes the demands of each setting and shows how to draw on new parts of one′ s self and learn new ways of working at each move.

1.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing, 24 May 2004
It is refreshing to see that some psychotherapists and councellors do not shy away from describing the less commonly discussed and more venal side of their activity: profit.

This book is about how to make more money, how to market yourself as a psychotherapist and how to deal with the business side of 'caring'.

For those of us out there who still needs convincing about what shrinks are all about.

3.0 out of 5 stars necessities for practitioners, 2 Nov 2004
By A Customer
Psychotherapy trainings are challenging and inspiring but also timeconsuming and expensive. Whereas most practitioners embark on such a career because they are interested in what makes human beings tick, and this usually includes their own inner world. The necessity of making a living with an aquired skill can often be ignored and training bodies usually do not alert prospective trainees about how d.

Training curricula usually ignore the business side of what is needed to work as a psychotherapist or counsellor. Cynthia Rogers' book addresses in easily digestible form the basics of what someone intending to set up a private practice needs to know. It is a helpful guide for anyone who choses to work privately in this field as a career path.

4.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable guide for a tough profession, 9 Aug 2004
By Martin Conradi (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a really good read. It's also full of practical advice about how to prosper in a notoriously tricky profession. I'm not a psychotherapist myself but someone I know had read this book and recommended it - she said there was a lot in it that would be useful for other professions - such as managing the market, dealing with the money, getting organised, coping with your own problems etc. What I particulary liked was the way the author doesn't always claim to get it 100% right herself (such as time managemen) - that cheered me up no end.
Seriously, there's a lot in it and I thought it was great value.
