Out of the Cracks and Other Tales of Psychotherapy - Paperback

by Jonathan Lasson (Author)

These psychotherapy tales give practical depictions of the dialogue and out-of-the-box techniques used by a skilled therapist as he helps his clients navigate the complexities of their lives.

Most therapists have clients who are sometimes interesting, dramatic, sweet, and even daring, but their stories are not always shared. Dr. Jonathan Lasson has been practicing psychotherapy for over twenty-five years and has received accolades from colleagues, students and his own clients for his knowledge and keen understanding of psychopathology and neuropsychology.

This second volume of psychotherapy tales, Out of the Cracks, contains stories with interesting narratives, twists of fate, innovative approaches, and life lessons that anyone can learn from.

Readers will meet:

• Jennifer, who seems to test Dr. Lasson with her boundary issues,
• Annie, who after a chance encounter with Dr. Lasson at a coffee shop eventually becomes a client in need,
• Taylor, who just does not seem to fit into the world's-or her mother's-perception of a perfect child,
• And Rick, whose perversion and poor etiquette will test even the seasoned therapist.

Whether you are a therapist, a connoisseur of therapy tales, or just someone who is interested in the complexities of psychotherapy, you will come away with a newfound appreciation of the heroes who choose to embark on an intimate and often intuitive journey with a compassionate therapist.

Everyone has a story worth telling. The stories you will read in Out of the Cracks will touch on every human emotion possible. So, sit back and allow yourself to enter the office of Dr. Jonathan Lasson as he dazzles you with tales of ordinary-turned-extraordinary people.
