Informative, even if you're not a conselor

I found the professional perspective really useful for revealing detail in how various Enneagram "types" react. I am NOT a counselor or therapist, but can make use of this information in my interactions with people nevertheless.

Bartlett's Book is Good

Prior to reading Carolyn Bartlett's Enneagram Field Guide in 2004, I thought of personality typologies as a sometimes useful tool, but not central to effective communication with clients. As I read through the book, certain clients in my psychotherapy practice came to mind, as well as approaches that I hadn't previously considered. I've run across numerous publications on the enneagram but have yet to find one that provides the focus and level of detail of Bartlett's book. It's good.
I've since retired from my practice and now spend most of my time writing. The enneagram provides a valuable credibility gauge when developing fictional characters. I recommend Bartlett's book every chance I get.

A useful book for both therapists and their clients

Carolyn Bartlett's small gem of a book condenses the wisdom gleaned through her long practice as a psychotherapist and her deep knowledge of the Enneagram system into useful pointers for therapists and individuals already in therapy or contempating therapy. A sense of where the pitfalls are for each of the nine types is invaluable for everyone. Bartlett's compassionate understanding of my own type made me blush and then laugh over her insights into my attitudes toward therapy and the ways a skillful therapist might offer me help in areas where I need it.

Here's a Wonderful Tool for....

Here's a wonderful tool for you to help yourself and especially help others as they beckon for help. Truly insightful and worth it to have within one's arsenal in carrying out the 'helping' practice. Thank you so much Carolyn. Take care and be well.......

Highly Recommended Resource for Consumers as well as Counseling Professionals

For the past three years Ms. Bartlett's book has been a valuable reference for me when my therapy with a particular client feels stuck. She provides a useful perspective which helps me examine the therapeutic process via the interaction between my own personal style and that of my client. Several years ago I lent the book to my sister-in-law, an elementary school teacher with a basic understanding of the enneagram. As she and I discussed her reaction to the book, I realized how its insights could also inform the consumer about the basic processes of therapy and the benefit of choosing a professional provider with a compatible counseling approach. With her straightforward narrative style and case examples, Ms Bartlett has managed to write a book accessible to the lay public as well as professionals. I highly recommend it as a resource to both.
