Description and Table of Contents
Description
Psychotherapy is a fast-growing profession and The Handbook of Psychotherapy offers a unique and comprehensive overview of its many aspects. The editors and contributors are all highly experienced practitioners who articulate, singularly or jointly, a particular viewpoint, approach or opinion to produce an overall perspective on psychotherapy today. Each brings a different emphasis to the relevant issues and the creative tension of this dialogue contributes to a lively and well-informed picture of theory and practice. Presented under five main headings - the nature of psychotherapy and its research, its culture, modalities, settings and issues - the book offers a rich source of information and reference. It has been written for all health professionals, including nurses and general practitioners; for social workers; for psychotherapists in training; for anyone considering psychotherapy as a career or seeking psychotherapy; for voluntary organizations; in short, for all those who need or wish to know more about psychotherapy. Petruska Clarkson is a consultant clinical psychologist, Head of School and Founder Director of both the metanoia Psychotherapy Training Institute and of metanoia Organisations International. Michael Pokorny is a psychoanalyst and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, past Chair of the UK Council for Psychotherapy and currently Chair of the Registration Board.
