How to Stay on the Bike When You’re Just Starting Out

After more than five decades as a clinical psychologist and university lecturer, Sparky the Mind Doc has funneled his collective wisdom into the book he wished he had read when just starting out.

Challenging cast-iron ideas in the field of psychology, Sparky’s book Training Wheels for Therapists aims to provide readers with unconventional yet effective ways to carry out a professional psychotherapy practice.

Throughout its 150 chapters, Dr. Breeskin weaves practical instruction in psychotherapeutic techniques into his own personal narrative. The result is a culmination of lively story-telling, valuable insight and sound knowledge.

Whether you are a beginning therapist or someone simply interested in psychology, Training Wheels for Therapists can offer a profound perspective on the study of the human mind.
