". . . Dr. Geller is able to convey in a very warm, and down-to-earth style his thoughtful understanding of various psychodynamic concepts that otherwise can be complicated and cumbersome to follow. He does so from diverse modes of being, patient, therapist, professor, and human being. In this way, he is able to create an integrated perspective of interest to seniors, mid-career, new therapists as well as clinicians-in-training. Dr. Geller's sharing of experiences in psychotherapy during different stages of his adult development serves as a testament to the power of transparency and self-disclosure at its best. Last but not least, Dr. Geller poignantly addresses issues of diversity from an individual level when elaborating on gender (males) and romantic love, a systemic level when addressing racial and social class bases in the evaluation of patients for psychotherapy, and from a very personal and intimate level when addressing her daughter Jenny's profound deafness. Reading this book is a t eat and a gift."-Dinelia Rosa, PhD, Director, Dean-Hope Center of Educational & Psychological Services, and Professor, Counseling & Clinical Pschoogy, Teachers Colege, Columbia University "This treasure of a book written by a master of psychotherapy over his lifetime hits us from all sides: scientific, academic, clinical, personal, revelatory. The power, potential, and dimensionality of the practice of psychotherapy comes to life in these pages, filled as they are with startling insights and creative perspectives. Yes this is a book about psychotherapy, but more so, it is a book about wisdom. Wisdom about what it is like to be with another person, indeed, what it is like to be a person. Those of us lucky enough to be Jesse's student, mentee, client, or friend will give this book a special place in our homes, as we have given him a special place in our hearts." -David Read Johnson, PhD, Post Traumatic Stress Center, and Yale University
