"Jaký případ z psychoterapeutické praxe byl pro vás největší výzvou?" Tuto otázku položili autoři knihy třiceti významným osobnostem současné psychoterapeutické scény. Jsou mezi nimi odborníci pocházející z různých částí světa, zástupci různých disciplín psychologie, psychiatrie, poradenství či sociální práce, významní zástupci různých terapeutických přístupů, nebo dokonce jejich zakladatelé. Spolu s autory pak vyprávějí nejpozoruhodnější případy, se kterými se ve své praxi setkali.
Po knize Mumie u jídelního stolu, v níž proslulí psychoterapeuti líčili své nejpozoruhodnější případy, oslovili autoři Kottler a Carlson znovu dvacet významných psychoterapeutů současnosti a tentokrát je vyzvali, aby vyprávěli o největších chybách, kterých se dopustili během své terapeutické praxe. Mezi oslovenými jsou známá jména (A. Ellis, W. Glasser, A. Lazarus), zástupci různých oborů psychologie, psychiatrie, poradenství a sociální práce, významní zástupci různých terapeutických směrů a někdy dokonce jejich zakladatelé. Na závěr knihy připojují autoři kapitolu, v níž se pokoušejí shrnout faktory, které se týkají terapeuta a jeho práce a podílejí se na tom, že terapeutický proces není úspěšný. Kniha je určena zájemcům o psychoterapii a také odborníkům praktikujícím psychoterapeutickou nebo poradenskou činnost v různých oblastech pomáhajících profesí.
