商品簡介
This accessible and stimulatingtext focuses on common problems such as anxiety and depression, exploring how different therapeutic approaches understand and work with them.
Counselling and psychotherapy are considered within the wider context of their history and the mental health systems in which they are often located. The book also introduces key aspects of the theory and practice of counselling and psychotherapy, and the increasing relevance of research in this area.
The editors have compiled a concise but authoritative and helpful book on the key models, contexts, critiques of therapy and relevant research. All students of the talking therapies will find this excellent book user-friendly and in line with training requirements' Professor Colin Feltham, Shelffield Hallam University
I found this new text to be both accessible and up-to-date. Many of the chapter authors are leading names in the UK psychotherapeutic field. This is a text I would very readily recommend to students of the subject, enquiring clients and to practitioners themselves' Dr Colin Lago, formerly Director of Counselling at Sheffield University
`Too many books on counselling and psychotherapy claim to be the one that everyone must read - but this one gets pretty close! It is streetsmart and radical, yet compassionate and not dismissive of consensus' Professor Andrew Samuels, University of Essex
