Doing Good?

Psychotherapy out of Its Depth

Edición de la obra Doing Good?

"In this book Peter Lomas argues that, as psychotherapy enters the mainstream, therapists have become dependent on the technical aspects of their profession at the expense of the many moral issues involved. As a result the dialogue between therapist and patient tends to be distorted, potentially confusing, and too remote from the healthy reality of ordinary conversation."--BOOK JACKET. "In this provocative analysis, drawing on his day-to-day experience of working with patients, Peter Lomas explores the consequences of this dichotomy, such as the loss of spontaneity and avoidance of closeness which may hinder rather than help the healing process. He looks at the problems associated with issues of power, and its abuse, which is central to psychotherapy, and explores the dilemmas involved when there is a clash of moral beliefs between the two people."--BOOK JACKET. "This addition to the literature on psychotherapy, will appeal both to trainee and practising therapists and counsellors, for people in therapy, and for those considering embarking upon it."--BOOK JACKET.
