"A true gemThis book combines an insightful review of relevant research with wisdom derived from decades of clinical experience, in a warm, humorous, and thought - provoking manner. It should be read (and periodically reread!) by all psychotherapists and those in training. Norcross and Guy provide practical suggestions that take psychotherapist self-care, self-awareness, and self-action to a new level." - Jeffrey E. Barnett, President-Elect, American Psychological Association Division 29 (Psychotherapy) Affiliate Professor, Loyola College in Maryland, USA

"This is a special book and one that is needed. Professional impairment is a major problem in all of the mental health professions, and prevention is the key to dealing with burnout. This book contains a wealth of practical information that readers can apply to keep themselves vital, both as persons and professionals. Throughout, the authors interweave key research findings with their own personal and clinical experiences. Every counseling educator and psychology educator could benefit from reading this book and incorporating these topics into their training programs." - Gerald Corey, Department of Human Services (Emeritus), California State University, Fullerton, USA

"As psychotherapists, we specialize in caring for others. This thoughtfully crafted book underscores the necessity and value of caring for ourselves. It highlights how meaningful and personally tailored self-care plans can alleviate the stress associated with being psychotherapists and bolster clinical effectiveness. Myriad appealing and effective self-care strategies are offered; the Self-Care Checklists at the end of each chapter are especially useful tools." - Nadine Kaslow, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University, USA

"Work and family stresses constitute significant contributing factors to psychotherapist burnout, professional lapses, and ethical complaints. Norcross and Guy have provided a superb roadmap and guide to prevention of such problems. They provide well-validated strategies and ways of thinking needed to stay on track in a stressful and demanding occupation not usually recognized as such. We could probably cut professional liability insurance rates and ethical complaints significantly, if we could only get all of our colleagues to read and follow this book's wise advice." - Gerald P. Koocher, School for Health Studies, Simmons College, USA

"It is a thorough work that draws on a range of sources from psychotherapy research to literature and experiences provided by 'hundreds' of colleagues. The authors seek to make therapist self-care as important and integrated an aspect of the work as writing notes or training, rather than an add-on or reactive piece of crisis management....Most of what is said in this book transcends difference in national custom or local practice. Much of it serves to remind us of what we already know but too easily ignore. And all of it provides sensible advice to help us maintain a professional and personal duty of care." - Therapy Today, Kate Thompson, May 2008
