Current therapeutic practice is grounded in traditional theories of
psychotherapy, such as the theories that underlie
cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic and person-centred practice.
But none of these approaches has been proven to be more effective
than any other, leaving the therapist with an ethical and
professional dilemma: how do you advocate and practise one theory
with your clients, when a completely different theoretical approach
is being successfully practised down the road? In this book
Campbell Purton argues that psychotherapy and counselling theories
fail to provide adequate justification for their practice. Part 1
highlights the weaknesses and dangers that underlie traditional
counselling theories and their derivatives, including
psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, existential and neuroscience
approaches. Having unpicked these theories, Part 2 goes on to
develop an exciting new way of thinking about therapy that does not
rely on theory - one that can be likened to a 'common sense'
approach to therapeutic practice. This book poses important
questions and offers unique insight for anyone studying or
practising in the field of counselling and psychotherapy.
