Guest guest Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Funny, I never thought of using that book with folks in the public. Never occurred to me.I went back and flipped thru the bookafter reading this email, and darned if it isn'tpretty fun. It has a choppy style because it leaps in and out of a transcript and the language in both ispretty informal so you have to find a voice to make sense of it.I remember when writing the book I always said the transcript sectionsout loud (of course I'd heard the tapes -- but when I was writing it with Mike). But still -- just reading it this morning (and as I always do, reading the transcript sectionsout loud) I really got a sense of a human being strugglingand then moving. It felt very personal ... much like long posts on this list serve. If anyone else explores it back channel me and let me know how it strikes you ....it raises some possibilities and I could use the feedback- S C.

As the title says, its a series of annotated transcripts of sessions between a therapist and a male client. Apart from providing insights into the counseling process and ACT in general, it's also an exciting story of one man's journey to a better life.
