For students, practitioners, and clients, this collection of 16 essays features the voices of clients--from Britain, Europe, Australia, and North America--as well as therapists, who discuss negative experiences with counseling. The first two sections focus on client views, which describe situations of transference, failed therapy, the power of suggestion in sessions, informed consent, hypnotherapy, dependence, the client's role, psychoanalysis, and the effects of language and reality. In the last section, clients and therapists present solutions. The bibliography is annotated. Bates is a freelance counselor and is Managing Editor of the journal ipnosis, which contains a column of client perspectives.
