Integrative Theory and Practice in Psychological Therapies: New Directions

Más información sobre el libro

A rich and evidence-informed collection of first-hand accounts from practising counsellors and psychotherapists and a counselling psychologist in the emerging world of personalised integration. This book will aid students and practitioners in developing a deep understanding of integrative theory, skills and practice. Each author brings to bear their own flavour of and perspective on personalised integration, revealing how they adapt their approach – whether focused on psychotherapy integration, psychoanalysis or phenomenology – to the bespoke needs of each client. By questioning the received wisdom of the field and drawing on the latest research and their own experiences with clients, each author guides the reader through the process of clarifying theory, critically reflecting on key issues and needs, and choosing the right techniques for each clinical setting, contextualising this in the historical matrix of the counselling and psychotherapy and associated fields.
