Books can
be an incredibly valuable source of information and assistance for
people working on some of the issues that may be addressed in therapy.
But there are so many… Where to begin? Following is a list of some
recommended books that I have found to be helpful. Each book has a link
to Amazon.com where you can click to get more information about the
particular book (I often find reading the reviewer comments to be very
helpful). You may also purchase it from them if you choose. I am always
learning of new books that clients have found to be helpful and will
add them to this site – so check back often!
