Are You Considering Therapy? (Paperback)

"Are You Considering Psychotherapy?" is a guidebook for people who are thinking about going into therapy but aren't quite sure where to start. Anouchka Grose looks at the various aspects of choosing a therapist, from sorting through the numerous types of treatment on offer, to deciding whether an individual practitioner is someone you might want to work with. In addition to explaining the differences between a psychiatrist, a psychotherapist and a psychologist, Grose also gives you some sense of what might happen in a session as well as looking at the many and varied notions of cure . For example, while a behavioral counsellor might make it their mission to rid you of your symptom as quickly as possible, a Lacanian psychoanalyst may consider it their ethical duty to see you through an experience of subjective destitution. (The book would also explain what on earth this means.) "Are You Considering Psychotherapy?" treats all therapies equally and allows readers to make their own choices about what might suit them. As well as outlining different treatments, the book explores the possibilities of going into therapy one-to-one, with a child or partner, or with a group. It is as light-hearted as possible about this serious and often anxiety-provoking process, and speaks straightforwardly about a notoriously unstraightforward field."
