Review:

"In this truly excellent and unusual book Schafer shares his wide clinical experience as he unpacks the meaning of the complex concept called therapist neutrality....I am sure that any psychotherapist of whatever persuasion or discipline who reads this book open-mindedly will do better therapy than before."
