Aprašymas

Covering a twenty-five-year period, this book of unpublished keynote speeches calls for a move away from individualistic approaches to therapy and towards socially-oriented and socially-engaged practices. Retaining the directness of the original speeches, Keith Tudor represents his critical ideas on positive mental health, transactional analysis, person-centred psychology, and psychotherapy and politics, arguing for the psychological and social worlds to be brought together to develop therapies that are as much a part of promoting positive mental health as they are ways of responding to distress and dis-ease. The book takes a critical perspective to challenge both therapists and the psychological professions to make themselves and their therapies more accessible and more relevant to the contemporary world. It provides guidance for how clients can engage actively in therapy, while also providing a framework to critique therapy in an informed way.

This wide-ranging and engaging book will be of interest to psychotherapists, mental health practitioners, researchers and students of psychotherapy.
