Welcome back to this week’s Friday Book Giveaway! This week’s spotlight book is The Talking Cure, written by two Australian psychotherapists Gillian Straker and Jacqui Winship.

Bringing us nine inspiring stories of transformation, they introduce us to their clients, fictional amalgams of real-life cases, and reveal how the art of talking and listening helps us to understand deep-seated issues that profoundly influence who we are in the world and how we see ourselves in relation to others.

Whether you have experienced therapy (or are tempted to try it), or you are just intrigued by the possibilities of a little-understood but transformative process this wise and compassionate book will deepen your sense of what it is to be open to communication – and your appreciate that to be human is to be a little bit mad.
