"Want to do therapy? A virtual ton of books await you-at last count, some 55,000 currently in print. Want to create transformative experiences that heal? I can only think of a handful of professional resources. Paul Leslie's The Art of Creating a Magical Session is at the top of the list."

Scott D. Miller, Ph.D; director, International Center for Clinical Excellence

"This book is a gem! As the mental health culture finds itself immersed in technique and theory, this book is a breath of fresh air. Beautifully written and full of heart, Paul takes us right into the magical space of what it means to be a healer and how to guide others towards their own inner healer. Through story-telling, ancient wisdom, and sound discussion this book invites us back into the space where deep transformation is birthed, for both client and clinician."

"Paul Leslie invites us into his fascinating mind, enriched at every step with words from so many wonderful people they're impossible to list. His careful recollections of cases transport us into the wonders of magic in therapy. He shows us the value, importance and healing potential in the surprising, the unexpected, and the wondrous. Paul has made magic almost graspable, leaving me shining with curiosity and my mind wide open to possibility."
