Mary Pipher's groundbreaking investigation of America's "girl-poisoning culture," Reviving Ophelia, has sold nearly two million copies and established its author as one of the nation's foremost authorities on family issues. In Letters to a Young Therapist, Dr. Pipher shares what she has learned in 30 years as a therapist, helping warring families, alienated adolescents, and harried professionals restore peace and beauty to their lives. Letters to a Young Therapist gives voice to her practice with an exhilarating mix of storytelling and sharp-eyed observation. And while her letters are addressed to an imagined young therapist, every one of us can take something away from them.
Long before "positive psychology" became a buzzword, Dr. Pipher practiced a refreshingly inventive therapy - fiercely optimistic, free of dogma or psychobabble, and laced with generous warmth and practical common sense. But not until now has this gifted healer described her unique perspective on how therapy can help us revitalize our emotional landscape in an increasingly stressful world. 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, Dr. Pipher's compassion and insight shine in this thoughtful and engaging book.

When LETTERS TO A YOUNG THERAPIST was on an audible sale, I decided to give it a lesson, though I’m an upper middle aged retired therapist. Phiper pens letters to a fictional new psychotherapist Laura, whom she supervises.
The best thing about LETTERS TO A YOUNG THERAPIST is that it’s relatively short. I liked how she quoted from other theorists to show where she learned some of her approaches.
I believe that there’s no one way to work with clients and that no approach works with everyone, with which Pipher says she agrees, yet she constantly criticizes other schools of thought. I’m also someone who believes that some of the most important lessons are from failures, not successes. The interns and therapists we supervise can learn from our mistakes more than what we did perfectly, because each client is different and repeated interventions won’t necessarily replicate similar results.
Therapy clients and those interested in psychology will be most interested in LETTERS TO A YOUNG THERAPIST but readers shouldn’t assume Pipher speaks for any professional but herself.
Not for therapists though clients might enjoy
