Reviews for Mastering the Financial Dimension of Your Psychotherapy Practice: The Definitive Resource for Private Practice

In this thoughtful and comprehensive guide, Daisy Reese and Peter Cole help psychotherapy practitioners to address `what they didn't teach in graduate school' about that most sensitive of subjects, money. A truly indispensable guide for practitioners at all levels. Novices will be guided, mid-career professionals will find reassuring counsel, and seasoned practitioners will discover useful strategies and perspectives. Highly recommended. Justin B. Hecht, PhD, psychologist and Jungian analyst I could have used this book when I started my private practice years ago! I had no real knowledge of how to manage the financial dimensions of this business and barely recognized that I had a `relationship' to money at all. Peter Cole and Daisy Reese tune into these and other unique concerns of psychotherapy finances from a practical, personal, and clinical perspective. This book brings the reader up to date regarding legal policies, online practices, and investment basics while keeping the goals of psychotherapy in the foreground. Charlie Bowman, MS, LCSW, LMFT, LCAC, president of the Indianapolis Gestalt Institute and past president of the Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy The authors offer a particularly thought-provoking premise concerning the way a therapist's psychological issues influence the psychological well-being, or lack thereof, of one's psychotherapy practice. The chapters extend the groundbreaking ideas of the 2004 book to incorporate thoughtful, thorough, and timely guidance through the ever-shifting, even precarious, economic landscape in which we currently practice. Your psychotherapy practice reference shelf is incomplete without this book! Dale Blunden, PhD, licensed psychologist in private practice, Sacramento, CA
