No Hidden Meanings: An Illustrated Eschatological Laundry List

Sheldon B. Kopp

Science & Behavior Books, 1976

Time For A Reissue
In the 70's & 80's Sheldon Kopp was a major contributor to the - then popular - fields of Humanistic and Gestalt Psychotherapy. No Hidden Meanings was a "toss off" article to the Journal "Voices". It was certainly one of his best. It comprises 43 "Eternal Truths" ...

All God's Children Are Lost, but Only a Few Can Play the Piano: Finding a Life That Is Truly Your Own

Sheldon Kopp

Simon & Schuster (Paper), 1991

This is Sheldon Kopp's best book -- simple and profound
"All God's Children Are Lost, but Only a Few Can Play the Piano" is an awkward title to a beautiful, inspiring book. Sheldon Kopp is one of the few authors of psychology books who manages to be both complex and inspiring. He will not settle for simple platitudes -- he ...

If You Meet Buddah on the Road
Sheldon Kopp

Bantam Books, 1982

Guru; Metaphors from a Psychotherapist

Sheldon B. Kopp

Science & Behavior Books, 1971

Thought provoking
I was recommended to read this book by someone who described it merely, as a book that helped her find meaning in her life, when she was searching for it. I read it with some hesitation, what with its controversial title and all, and was pleasently surprised by the ...

What Took You So Long: An Assortment of Life's Everyday Ironies

Sheldon Kopp

Science & Behavior Books, 1979

A good guide when life gets too real.
The Kopps are psychologists who appear to have become worried at the "What, me worry?" mentality of the Hippie era. The book's title is from a Hindu fable told in the Preface whose theme is the unreality of reality. In a progression of 60's era pictures accompanied by ...

If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him! The Pilgrimage of Psychotherapy Patients

Sheldon Kopp

Bantam, 1976

Excellent read, not what you'd expect.
I have read this book twice and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. Dr. Kopp is able to demystify the process of psychotherapy through his experiences as a psychiatrist and human being. The stories related are thought provoking, inspiring and enlightening. It also ...

Even a stone can be a teacher

Sheldon Kopp

Tarcher, 1985

not very well written. But, great content.
I think that this is a great book. The only problem with it might be, that its not written very well. It seems to drag at times and one might feel that its not worth the time. But, it is. This is one book which confronts you directly about who you really are and who ...

BLUES AIN'T NOTHING BUT A GOOD SOUL FEELING BAD: DAILY STEPS TO SPIRITUAL GROWTH (Fireside/Parkside Recovery ...

Sheldon Kopp

Fireside, 1992

Seldom a day starts without it.
I have used this book as part of my daily meditation routine for over 3 years. It delivers practical, compassionate, encouraging and comforting messages that help me focus my physical and emotional energy on what is important. I highly recommend it to all!

Back to One: Practical Guide for Psychotherapists

Sheldon Kopp

Science and Behavior Books, 1977

A must read for all students/practitioners of psychotherapy
I read this book as an assignment during my internship at a mental health counseling center. It examines the relationship between the therapist and client in a way that was not done in any of my coursework. It was very readable, and I would recommend it to any ...

This Side of Tragedy: Psychotherapy as Theater

Sheldon B Kopp

Science and Behavior Books, 1977

Comedy and Tragedy
Sheldon Kopp's latest book is a wonderful addition to his list of top-sellers for Science and Behavior Books. Once more he proves that he is a superb spinner of tales. But in this book he chooses the metaphor of theater to illustrate the funny, the foolish, and the ...
