A lovely conversational look at a complicated subject. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Mr. Sandler (and Freud!). As a newbie to the techniques discussed, I thought this book served as an excellent introduction. It removed some of my fears and misconceptions, and made me interested in finding out more on the subject. It was an easy read, well constructed and quite clear. I think it would be a good selection for a book discussion group, as I found myself wanting to discuss and debate some of the content. If you are looking for interesting introductory material, presented well, I recommend this book.
