Hi Echo,
The book was actually based on a survey the author did of women who had been in therapy. She asked a long set of questions about their experiences and then followed up with in depth interviews with respondents who were willing. So the types of therapy covered was very broad. I remember at least one woman who had actually done a broad range of different types. The book is really written from the perspective of what its like to be in therapy and is one of the few books I've ever read that talks about the emotional intensity from the patient's point of view.

And while we're on the subject of types of therapy, I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not, but the studies that have been done on the efficacy of therapy actually find that the strongest factor in therapies which are successful is the strength of the relationship between the patient and therapist, regardless of which type of therapy is being done.
