Twelve autobiographical sketches by experienced psychotherapists of different orientations comprise the body of this book. Around this Arthur Burton writes an introduction, a chapter as one of the therapists (including a patient's account of treatment with him), and a summary. Six of the therapists are analysts (Werner Mendel, Helm Stierlin, O. Spurgeon English, Reuben Fine, Rudolf Ekstein, and F. Lopez-Ibor). The others include existential humanistic therapists (John Warkentin and Burton), a Gestalt therapist (Erving Polster), a 'rational-emotive' therapist (Albert Ellis), a non-directive, group and encounter therapist
