Publisher's Synopsis
While there's no shortage of self-help books, there seems to be a gap when it comes to books that help explain the mental health field and how to use it. "The Guide to Getting Help" fills in that gap and makes the process easier. One of the big hurdles many people still have when it comes to counseling or psychotherapy is the unnecessary stigma associated with it. The idea behind this guide is to answer a lot of the questions about getting help that might be keeping some from seeking it out. What therapists say about "The Guide to Getting Help." "A succinct, clear, step-by-step introduction to the mental healthcare system in the U.S., written for the reader who wants to grow as a person by establishing a relationship with a psychotherapist, while not knowing where or how to begin. Felton conveys a talent for imagining the position of the Beginner; he orients the reader within the field without relying on jargon, and gently removes a variety of practical obstacles to seeking help." - Matthew Paymar, M.A., LPCC "Navigating the world of mental healthcare can feel like entering a foreign country where you don't speak the language and don't know who to ask for help. Felton's The Guide to Getting Help is like having the latest Fodor's travel guide in your back pocket: You'll never feel lost again!" - David Swirnoff, M.A., Psychotherapist "Felton writes with the perfect language to succinctly explain the basics of therapy to clients. In addition to [being for] people thinking about therapy, this is an excellent reference for therapists."-Ryan Peterson, M.A., Psychotherapist
