My advice to readers is not to be put off by any difficulty in following the arguement of Therapeutic Storytellimng. This is an important book which repays the reader hugely. Gersie has written heartbreakingly illuminating commentaries about storytelling. For storytellers, moreover, the traditional stories and quotiations about storytelling she has gathered from around the world, alone would be worth the price of the book. Finally, however, readers will be repaid by having the companionship of Gersie's humane, compassionate view of the human spirit as it is revealed when people tell and re-tell their own life stories and facilitate this work in others.

Early in her book Gersie quotes an ancient tradition which says that one who makes a story must sit where the sky meets the underworld. The strength of Alida Gersie's Reflections On Therapeutic Storymaking; The Use of Stories In Groups is that she proffers this profound positioning as the rightful place, both of therapeutic groups and the therapists who facilitate them.

To paraphrase Chaucer, when you find such a book, sell even your bed to buy it. It initiates and encourages a more through and reflective examination of our own practices.
