Recent studies show that one of the most important factors in a successful psychotherapy is the patient's active participation in the selection of his or her therapist. This book is dedicated to the idea that the best patient is a well-informed patient. It describes the variety of therapies available today, and guides the consumer in making informed decisions, including whether or not therapy is necessary. Other essential issues discussed are the role of medication in therapy, how to judge the competence of a therapist, and how to decide if your therapy is working.
