Working with the Wealthy and Well Known takes a nuanced look at these two overlapping groups and offers evidence-based guidance for treatment plans and strategies.

The writing mixes stories and narrative, expert interviews with master therapists and other helping professionals, and strong research to create a highly readable, immensely practical guide for working with the rich and famous. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and a strong body of research, Dave Verhaagen shares deeply human stories, evidence-based insights, and practical approaches to helping prominent clients navigate the complexities of wealth and fame. He explores their impact on identity development, relationships, substance use, and mental health.

Transcending the stereotypes of rich people and celebrities, this is a must-read for mental health professionals, fans of psychology, and anyone who helps or supports prominent clients. Written with empathy and insight, the book is a landmark work for understanding and helping the rich and famous.

Reviews for Working with the Wealthy and Well Known: Evidence-Based Guidance for Treatment Plans and Strategies

“There is not a singular way of understanding or working with wealthy people. Rather, it takes a complex and dynamic understanding of psychology and wealth to effectively work with this population. Dr. Verhaagen’s insights and perspectives into the experience of wealth are important to the wide range of professionals who interact with and support wealthy individuals and families.” Ed Coambs, CFP, LMFT, past president, Financial Therapy Association “I haven’t run across a book as spot-on and specific to my office practice as this one. Love this book!” Alan Ludington, MS, MDiv, MFT, founder of Ludington Institute for Family Enrichment, Westlake Village, California
