My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

Faith in Therapy
Therapy is essentially an act of faith requiring that therapist and client believe in its capacity to alter aspects of life that have to this moment been intrusive and sometimes destructive. The belief that change can occur makes it possible, enabling both participants to invest in the process. Without faith on either side of the exchange nothing can occur, other than confirming the basis of non-belief.
