Query: A poetic look at how one works on oneself as a therapist

This book is a beautifully written description and analysis of how Gardner works on himself in the process of therapy. He probes his ways of doing self-analytic work - "self inquiry" - using images and associations to further his understanding of his patients, himself and their relationships. It will be of special interest to therapists. As a training therapist I found this book helpful in opening paths for doing the work of exploration and figuring out between sessions. The book is poetic and thoughtfull, not at all reductive of the complex process of understanding that therapists are involved in. It is both a depiction of the process and a reflection on it.
