Stories of hope and healing by the author of the
best-selling Reviving Ophelia In Letters to a Young
Therapist, Dr. Pipher shares what she has learned in
thirty 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 from every page of
this thoughtful and engaging book. Ranging broadly in
subject matter, these brief, intellectual primers to
life are a stimulating read for anyone who wants to
experience the insights, wisdom and advice of today's
leading minds. Now available for the first time in
handsome and affordable new paperback editions.
