"Rarely has any writer addressed the issue of values in psychotherapy as cogently and comprehensively as has Robert Woolfolk in this groundbreaking volume. This book should be read by the providers and consumers of psychotherapy as well as by anyone with an intellectual interest in the current status of this important form of treatment." (Aaron T. Beck, university professor emeritus, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine)

"The Cure of Souls is a philosophical analysis of some of the most important aspects of psychotherapy that are often neglected by practicing therapists. To understand what some of the basic issues of psychotherapy are and how it can be made more practical and scientific, this book is an invaluable guide. Bravo!" (Albert Ellis, president, Albert Ellis Institute for Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, New York City)

"The Cure of Souls is a systematic, intelligent, and perceptive book that will inform those concerned with understanding our culture and challenge those who provide psychotherapeutic interventions to better ground their interventions in what wisdom we can assemble on these issues." (John Darley, Warren Professor of Psychology, Princeton University)
