Intensive Therapy

''Intensive Therapy is a good read. The characters are genuine and compelling. You care about them from the first page of the book. The story is complex and interesting and reflects how messy life can be, for all of us. And not only is this a great book to read it inspired me to think about myself and my interactions with family and friends, to look inside and ponder. I was sad for this book to end and happy knowing I am better for having read it. Jeffrey Deitz has crafted a fine novel that you will want to read and have a hard time putting down.''—Lori Lebas, Executive at The Walt Disney Company

“I can think of few clinical vignettes in scholarly journals that even come close to the Jeffrey Deitz’s vividly compelling portraits of both the therapist’s and the patient’s experiences. Only a highly skilled clinician could have written this in-depth account of a therapeutic relationship. Intensive Therapy: A Novel is a great read both for people who practice psychotherapy and for those who are interested in understanding it more deeply.”—Dr. Doris Brothers, psychologist/psychoanalyst and author of Falling Backwards: An exploration of Trust and Self Experience and Toward a Psychology of Uncertainty: Trauma-Centered Psychoanalysis

“The evolution of therapist and patient intertwine in Jeffrey Deitz’s debut novel, an insider’s peek into the intimate world of therapy. This is a finely chiseled story.”—Jacqueline Sheehan, PhD, psychologist, and author of New York Times bestseller Lost & Found

“Jeffrey Deitz has created fascinating, authentic characters that speak to readers on a raw and intimate level. His years as a psychoanalyst have blessed him with the unique ability to write thoughtful, true-to-life characters and captivating drama.”—Dr. Erica Miller, psychologist and author of Don’t Tell Me I Can’t Do It and Thanks for My Journey
