How to Flourish as a Psychotherapist

Author(s) : Brett Kahr

Reviews and Endorsements

I recommend it not only to students and prospective students but to therapists at whatever stage of their career they may be. You’ll find plenty of solid evidence and inspiration to deepen and expand your practice, indeed your life.
Dr David Van Nuys, Shrink Rap Radio

I found myself responding with enjoyment and gratitude to this book… Kahr is happy to share all he has learned the long way… [and] has a very serious point to make about the importance of deriving ‘deep delight’ from our work.
Isobel Todd, Psychodynamic Counsellor, Sussex Counselling & Psychotherapy News

The book seems aimed at traditional psychoanalytic psychotherapists but its wisdom applies much more widely.
Roslyn Byfield MBACP (Accred), psychodynamic counsellor in private practice, Private Practice

This is an impressive and easy read (because it is well written and interesting) – a cradle-to-grave guide to building a successful practice – about not just surviving but “flourishing”. The book tackles all the stages of a career in psychotherapy, from choosing the most suitable course to what to do when you’re approaching retirement, and deals with real-life issues such as the envy of colleagues and back pain.
Martin Pollecoff, psychotherapist and UKCP chair, New Psychotherapist

… this detailed and candid book … provides the reader with a comprehensive and revealing description of how to build and maintain a successful psychotherapy practice. … In lively conversational style he offers fascinating and humorous scenarios and anecdotes from different stages of his career.
Caroline Hallett, British Journal of Psychotherapy

This is an impressive and easy read (because it is well written and interesting) – a cradle-to-grave guide to building a successful practice – about not just surviving but ‘flourishing’. [...] Not only did I invite Brett to join us, I bought a second copy of his book for a friend who is considering following this career path. So, think on this – greater love hath no man for a book he is reviewing than to buy two copies using money from his own pocket.
