The Assassin and the Therapist an Exploration of Truth in Psychotherapy and in Life

When we first meet him, Jacob is an elderly man with an air of bitter loneliness, who claims to have had a secret past with an unbelievable story that he has kept to himself for over 40 years--a tale that he is at long last able to tell. And so, meeting every week for over a year with therapist and writer Jeffrey Kottler, Jacob recounts his amazing journey as a young Jewish boy from the Bronx, who is recruited in 1947 to join the volunteer forces in Palestine to fight for an independent state of Israel, where he is trained as an assassin in an elite covert unit. They secure a book deal with a major publisher, and are putting the final touches on the manuscript when Kottler begins to have doubts about the accuracy of the tale and of Jacob's motives, ultimately causing a crisis of faith in the meaning of his work, his trust in his colleagues and clients, and his abilities as a therapist and teacher. --From publisher's description.

  • "Many therapists have likely worked with a client who has caused the therapist to confront his most cherished beliefs, or has changed the therapist in ways that forever altered the way he performs therapy, looks at the world, and sees himself. The author of this book found himself in just such a situation, causing him to begin his own search for truth. This book is the result of his search; it explores the nature of truth in psychotherapy and in the therapist's life, examining some of the things that are often denied and rarely spoken about. This book contains two parallel narratives: the first."@en
