“The concepts in Stage Climbing integrated a variety of developmental and therapeutic psychological theories in a well organized and practical manner; the concepts were worded in a way to be useful to practitioners and laypeople alike. In reading about careers, romantic relationships, family relationships, altruistic endeavors, and other facets of life, I thought of scenarios in my own life, the lives of friends and loved ones, and my patients. Personally, the concepts gave me courage to enact behavior change by addressing a professional issue with an authority figure; I felt empowered for having stood up for myself! I have no doubt this book would be useful in helping others in understanding and changing their own behavior by realizing the areas in their own life that could benefit from growth and change.”

“Dr. Broder has written an important and thoughtful book, one which is indispensable to mental health professionals but also accessible to anyone valuing psychological well-being. Although based on complex psychological theories and on the shoulders of such greats as Maslow and Erickson, Dr. Broder has created yet another system to facilitate psychological growth and enable readers to be more impactful in their lives. He has formulated a well-organized, clear, concise method for exploring deep psychological processes. In that process, he has revealed himself to be an important theorist in the field of psychology. What also comes through is Dr. Broder’s respect and passion for his profession and its powerful potential to not only heal, but to enable one to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.”
