The Future of Training in Psychotherapy and Counselling
The Future of Training in Psychotherapy and Counselling presents a revealing and stimulating account of the current state of training that demonstrates how training will have to adapt if it is to sucessfully meet the needs and challenges of the future. In an attempt to look afresh at the whole question of training, John Rowan proposes that there are three ways of doing therapy and any examination of training has to consider each of these: * the instrumental, where the main emphasis is on the treating the client or patient * the authentic way, where the main emphasis is on meeting the client or patient * the transpersonal way, where main emphasis is on linking with the client in a more person...
Courage to Be: Organised Gay Youth in England 1967 - 1990
The London Gay Teenage Group was a unique and ground-breaking youth group.

A Psychology for Living
"As this accessibility is what has attracted the favourable response, the second edition retains the chapters on the theory and procedures for its practical application largely unchanged - only amended and clarified where this was felt necessary. Examples of the ideas in action have been updated and the work of later writers and practitioners brought in. The scope of the book is widened by the introduction of a new chapter on the use of PCP in work for organisations, an area of development which has expanded greatly in the last ten years."--Jacket.
Intuition in Psychotherapy and Counselling
Since nonverbal messages have been shown to dominate interpersonal communication, and since their cues are gathered intuitively, it is clearly a distinct advantage for therapists and counsellors to be familiar with this phenomenon. Based on original research into intuition within clinical practice, Rachel Charles provides in-depth explanations of the process, appropriately illustrated with models and case histories. This includes intuition's allo-logical and global aspects, its relationship to empathy and its links with spiritual practice. A theoretical framework is thus provided for its comprehension and teaching. While some people are naturally more intuitive than others, the author makes a number of practical recommendations whereby the faculty of intuition can be cultivated by therapists, increasing receptivity to unconscious messages and helping the client to achieve insight. Clinicians, training institutes, their tutors and students, and indeed anyone working with people, will find this book a valuable resource for the enhancement of professional practice.
The Future of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy faces multiple challenges in the new millennium. How can it organize, teach and offer therapy in ways that are relevant to the diverse complex and social and cultural groups of people who seek psychological help? How should it adapt to demands for accountability and evidence? How can it cope in a climate of competition and market share? Should it cleave to medicine or abandon it? Define itself as a science or an art or an ethical practice? This wide-ranging work takes up some of the pressing cultural, political, organizational and ethical issues for psychoanalytic psychotherapy, placing them firmly in a clinical context. The contributors examine a range of issues from the experiences of a particular group of people in therapy (children, immigrants, gay men, short-term clients), who may challenge psychoanalytic assumptions, to the difficulties psychoanalytic psychotherapy has in organizing itself creatively in a risk-averse culture, and to the openings and connections with other disciplines that may extend and enliven critical work. The contributors write from the critical edge of psychotherapy and offer their own challenges to the profession.
