Synopsis

The Therapist’s Companion The Enneagram Field Guide is a great reference for therapists, counselors and anyone who wants quick help understanding the Enneagram or themselves. Based on years of clinical experience and field interviews by therapist Carolyn Bartlett, the book presents reports from therapy clients and individuals, all of whom know their Enneagram style. As they describe their experiences with therapy and counseling, they reveal what has helped them successfully grow and change as well as what has not worked for their personality style. Therapists and counselors will find clear guidance about how to create meaningful change in their clients. Spiritual directors will discover stories that illuminate the Enneagram’s transpersonal meaning, plus ways to evoke the essential spiritual qualities of each style. Enneagram enthusiasts, who already know the power of this profound system, will find inspiration and insights from fellow travelers – pointing you towards fulfilling your own true potentials.

“Practical, smart and clinically astute. An invaluable handbook for therapists and counselors who want to use the Enneagram with their clients.”
– Michael Goldberg, organizational consultant, author, The 9 Ways of Working

“A must-read for therapists and counselors, Carolyn Bartlett’s superb Enneagram Field Guide is also illuminating for anyone seeking personal growth or insights into the complexities of the Enneagram’s personality styles.”
– Judith Searle, author of The Literary Enneagram

"The Enneagram Field Guide is the definitive guide for any therapist who wants an in-depth understanding of their clients. With wisdom and compassion, it clearly illuminates the path of growth for all nine types including insightful suggestions for therapy."
-- Julia Foster, MA, Psychotherapist and Enneagram teacher

"These chapters offer excellent advice and delicious examples of appropriate psychotherapy for the nine types. This lever of work is most helpful for spiritual practice. Those of us pursuing spiritual truth and freedom, whatever our path or tradition, can easily be distracted by the insistent demands, hurts, needs and projections of ego. When enough of these are relaxed and ameliorated, we more easily see that which is beyond 'me' and 'mine.;"
--Ven. Santikaro Bhikkhu, Buddhist Monk

"The line between spirituality and therapy blurs at a certain depth. Carolyn Bartlett reaches that depth as she uses the Enneagram and draws on her years of experience. She reveals the struggle of each Enneagram style and, most importantly, how each style grows within it. She is realistic about the intensity of the struggle, but I find a lot of hope in her work."
-- Richard Rohr, author of Discovering the Enneagram, Experiencing the Enneagram

“The Enneagram Field Guide represents a breakthrough effort to bring the Enneagram understandings into counseling and therapy. Carolyn provides many insights in what does work synthesizes and systematically reviews therapy strategy with each of the Enneagram types. She provides clarity, compassion and thoughtfulness in her writing. All of us in the fields of counseling, ranging from executive coaching to spiritual direction, will find this guide of great and enduring benefit. It is a pleasure to recommend it.”
– David Daniels, M.D., Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford Medical School
