The Elders Speak: Two Psychologists Share Their Lifetimes of Experience

With grace and wisdom and insight, Ellison Mitchell and John Hoover have written an approachable book about a subject matter often shrouded in mystery. Their casual yet confident writing style invites the reader into their closed-door world; reading The Elders Speak is much like eavesdropping on two masters of the trade swapping stories over dinner from a lifetime in the field. But, perhaps, the greatest strength of the book lies in Mitchell and Hoover’s willingness to expose their own search for psychological growth and awareness while helping patients do the same. The Elders Speak is laced with a vulnerability that makes every page reek with honesty.
