<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The authors examine the realities of clinical practice for which therapists are unprepared. Kottler and Hazler cover issues that are rarely addressed in the classroom, such as organization politics, the negatives of being a therapist, keeping up with cutting-edge innovations, sustaining a private practice, and planning for the futureand offer concrete suggestions for adapting to the world outside graduate school.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Is life after graduate school different from what you expected? Are you finding that graduate school did not teach you a number of critical skills and attitudes that you now need as a practicing therapist? You are not alone. Many therapists are struggling to adapt not only to the profession's changing landscape (such as the advent of managed care and the burgeoning of new theories and treatment approaches), but also to demands directly related to their professional and personal success. This book explores many issues that are rarely addressed in formal educational experiences, for example, organizational politics, the negative "side effects" of being a therapist, keeping up with cutting edge innovations, and planning for the future. It offers many concrete suggestions for adapting to the world outside of graduate school.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A]n excellent resource for those in graduate school or early career professionals who want to be exposed to issues, concepts, conflicts, and challenges that they had not previously considered. . . . The settings and the scenarios presented are quite varied, and this is a strength of the book. . . . It is not possible in graduate school to learn everything you need to know to be an excellent helping professional. With this volume, Kottler provides graduate students and early career professionals with a look at what might lie ahead and a way to think about what may lie ahead that cannot currently be imagined.-- "PsycCRITIQUES" (12/28/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>In his most recent book, <em>The Therapist in the Real World</em>, the prolific Jeffrey Kottler offers therapists an amazing amount of useful and practical information. In recommending this practical book, I conclude with Kottler's code: That we do not leave our graduate training behind (nor should we!) when we go out into the real world. And, that we continue to be passionately committed to learning and becoming the best we can be, not just with our clients, but in our everyday lives.-- "The Milton H. Erickson Foundation Newsletter" (12/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>Kottler sets out to provide the unfiltered truth about being a therapist -- even if it alarms us. . . . [F]rank, but also encouraging. . . . Kottler offers useful strategies for survival . . . . [H]e shows us how to get the most out of supervision, use creativity to facilitate breakthroughs, admit when we are lost, express curiosity rather than doubt, and teach people to help us when we are stuck -- all pivotal skills of effective therapists in the real world.-- "PsychCentral" (11/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>Professional therapists, particularly those newer to their practice, will find the book highly accessible in its writing and presentation of what to expect in the therapeutic experience. Students of clinical psychology will also especially benefit from the frank analysis undertaken to explain where training falls short, why, and what to do to find greater fulfillment in the field. . . . [H]ighly recommended for those students and practitioners experiencing burnout or who are otherwise unable to receive meaningful vocational advice from mentors.-- "Somatic Psychotherapy Today" (11/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br>
