There are an astonishing number of treatments available to us for all types of disorders. But how can we choose wisely from so much on offer? Psychotherapy is now hardly contentious, a safety net for the perils of modern life. But what - really - is it all about?
'Introducing Psychotherapy' is a unique and valuable guide for anyone who wants to understand more about the subject of psychotherapy. It focuses on the main types of therapies: the 'talking cures' of psychoanalysis; behavioural and cognitive techniques; somatic solutions; humanist, gestalt and existential approaches; individual and group therapies -plus some of the diverse, less well-known complementary and alternative ways to help or be helped.
For people seeking help for themselves or others, it focuses on the types of practices available for students and those considering involvement in promoting wellness.
