Publisher Synopsis
"This collection makes fascinating reading, but more importantly provides rich material from which therapists can learn vicariously how to address deception in therapy. As is often the case, by addressing an issue we wish to avoid--here, deception in therapy-- we learn. Don't believe that clients don't deceive us (as they do with others in their lives) and don't avoid this book!" -- Bruce Wampold, PhD, ABPP, Professor of Counseling Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison; Author of The Great Psychotherapy Debate "Want to discover the truth about deception in therapy? Jeffrey Kottler and Jon Carlson have collected a formable collection of old pros whose compelling prose sheds light on an important, but previously unexplored, subtext that permeates psychotherapy. Don't fool yourself: The roadmap to avoid being duped is contained within." -- Jeffrey K. Zeig, PhD, Director, The Milton H. Erickson Foundation "Kottler and Carlson boldly ask us to examine the many ways a falsehood can be a part of counseling. An entertaining tour de force of sessions filled with lies, con jobs, and outright deception, here we are reminded that clients and therapists are capable of saying anything with or without reason or truth value." -- Bradford Keeney, PhD, Hanna Spyker Eminent Scholars Chair, University of Louisiana at Monroe; Author of The Creative Therapist: The Art of Awakening a Session "Jeffrey Kottler and Jon Carlson suggest that all psychotherapists have been duped at one time or another...Duped serves as a real-life exploration of this deception, with each chapter presenting a case vignette from a practitioner who worked with a client who either lied through omission or explicitly committed a falsehood...Kottler and Carlson deserve recognition for tackling a subject that is taboo; deception in psychotherapy is rarely researched and seldom discussed. Furthermore, they explore the issue in a way that is thought provoking and fascinating to the reader. Duped is a useful tool for psychotherapists and clinicians in the helping professions at all experience levels, as it serves as an engaging yet humbling reminder that we will not always have access to all aspects of our clients' lives. The stories within it are so compelling that we suspect that a lay audience would enjoy this book as well." - Nancy Murdock and Larissa Seay, PsycCRITIQUES Read more...
