I am reading Intimate Journeys: Stories from Life-changing Therapy. Author and psychotherapist James Bugental writes about 5 different clients he worked with during the 60s. He is a humanistic psychologist and practices existential psychotherapy. He intersperses his clients' cases with his own thoughts. You really get a feel for how deeply involved this therapist is in the therapy with his clients and how deeply he cares and wants to help. The 60s setting is very interesting--things were a little different back then!
