About this listen
A conversational and practical guide to the next level of professional development.
Louis Cozolino, one of our most compelling clinical writers, takes us inside the mind and heart of a seasoned therapist, carrying on the tradition of personal and professional writing begun in The Making of a Therapist. This book discusses some of the more abstract concepts and ways of interacting with clients, such as relaxed curiosity, finding the secret ally, and discovering the deep narrative. Also addressed are clinical concepts such as related states of mind, the process of change, free-floating attention, and listening with the third ear.
More than just theoretical commentary, the book offers concrete clinical advice for the experienced therapist and brings a fresh perspective to some of the most current clinical challenges, including the complexities of executive functioning; treating clients with internet addiction; and taking responsibility for your continued personal growth, clinical supervision, and education after leaving school.

Enlightening, but…
This is the second book by Dr. Cozolino that I’ve read. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found the content and rationale behind psychological theories and components relevant to the therapeutic process both stimulating and engaging. However, towards the end of the book the author went on a rather lengthy tangent regarding the supposed dwindling of academic excellence by treating “students as customers” and specifically asserted that this allows for some people who are not qualified to become psychotherapists. I thought this part of the book was unnecessary and came off as gate keeping the field - although not everyone can or should enter the field of psychology, why bash the accessibility aspect? Apart from this, I really enjoyed the book and narration, I was just put off by the last couple of chapters.

Great read with one unsettling inconsistency
I greatly enjoyed the book overall and will benifit from much of the wisdom imparted. The author included excellent discussions regarding reflection and different ways to experience the client in relationship. It was also written in an endearing and engaging manor. However, it is unclear how the author defines attachment. The author expounds greatly on the child's need for attachment and reflects on the value of maintaining feelings of connection even after the death of a parent. Yet, the author casually states that the scaffolding of attachment needs to be dismantled to support individuation. Certainly, attachment to care givers should indeed change as the individual matures and differentiates, but it does not make sense to say that one is ever done with attachment, as it not defined strictly as dependency. It can be dangerous to suggest to a client that they need to "detach" from their parent or from their child. Words matter. Dr. Gordon Neufeld and Dr. Gabor Matè offer an excellent explanation of attachment that supports individuation in their book "Hold onto Your Kids".
