Is life after graduate school different from what you expected? Are you finding that graduate school did not teach you a number of critical skills and attitudes that you now need as a practicing therapist? You are not alone. Many therapists are struggling to adapt not only to the profession's changing landscape (such as the advent of managed care and the burgeoning of new theories and treatment approaches), but also to demands directly related to their professional and personal success. This book explores many issues that are rarely addressed in formal educational experiences, for example, organizational politics, the negative side effects of being a therapist, keeping up with cutting edge innovations, and planning for the future. It offers many concrete suggestions for adapting to the world outside of graduate school.

Luisa de la Cueva was born on the Caribbean island of Malagita, of a plantation owner's son and a native woman, a servant in the kitchen. Her years on Malagita were sweet with the beauty of bamboo, banana, and mango trees with flocks of silver-feathered guinea hens underneath, the magic of a victrola, and the caramel flan that Mama sneaked home from the plantation kitchen. Luisa's father, fearing revolution, takes his family to New York. In the barrio his once-powerful name means nothing, and the family establishes itself in a basement tenement. For Luisa, Malagita becomes a dream. Luisa does not dream of going to college, as her friend Ellen does, or of winning the lottery, as her father does. She takes a job as a servant and, paradoxically, grows more independent. She marries and later raises a son alone. She works as a servant all her life. A Servant's Tale is the story of a life that is simple on the surface but full of depth and richness as we come to know it, a story told with consummate grace and compassion by Paula Fox.
