Reviews and Endorsements
This book is an important contribution to the theory and practice of psychotherapy, presenting a well-developed model that highlights the essential role of self-worth. Drawing from an extensive bibliography, the authors craft a therapeutic approach that is both practical and transformative. This work is an important resource for psychotherapists, counselors, and anyone dedicated to fostering self-realization and meaningful change in their clients.
Pamela Seator, MD, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in private practice
The authors have written a gem of a book that should be required reading for psychology and counseling students. This book offers a rich and expansive view of the concept of self-worth. The authors masterfully introduce the concept of birthright self-worth and its importance as a cornerstone of mental health.
Larry Ro-Trock, PhD, psychologist and marriage and family therapist
This is the most inspiring clinical book I have read in years. Daigneault and Brown have assembled the framework of worth-conscious theory with clarity and conciseness. The clinical examples are inspiring and helpful. I felt genuinely excited and filled with new ways of thinking, and I have already started to use those ideas with my clients. This is a much needed and welcome guidebook that all psychotherapists will want to read and refer to!
Gaye E. Henderson, MS, licensed professional counselor
Daigneault and Brown have made a significant contribution to therapy practice with their discussion of self-worth. Their book includes invaluable insights into how issues of self-worth manifest in therapy and how to structure the work to pay it the fundamental attention it deserves.
Claude Brunell, PsyD, clinical psychologist
