This controversial book argues that 20th century psychotherapy has
been fundamentally characterized by serious disagreement on views
of human nature, treatment rationales and goals. Focusing on the
differences rather than the commonalities in therapy, eight eminent
practitioners demonstrate the diversities in therapies and why, for
the most part, it is not possible to tolerate or integrate with
other approaches. `The book awakened me to understanding more about
how a core belief or orientation can result in polarised attitudes
towards the person. At the same time, in some cases, there is
fundamental common ground which could potentially lead to genuine
integration' - [ac]Eisteach, The Journal of the Irish Association
for Counselling and Therapy `Eight distinguished practitioners
address twelve different questions, aimed at identifying the
distinctive qualities of their own approach and demonstrating how
it has been arrived at. The result is a book that will allow both
experienced practitioners and trainees to become familiar with and
compare the current thinking of these well-known people... the very
passion of these opposing and sometimes exclusive convictions may
be the well-spring for the efficacy and achievements of these
eminent practitioners and trainers' - Self & Society Each
therapist highlights the distinctive properties of his or her
orientation, and discusses questions such as: why and how they came
to found, adapt or choose the approach they currently practise;
what criticisms of the approach they consider to be valid; which
approaches they consider to be ineffective, misleading or
dangerous, and, conversely, more promising or effective; why their
approach is more effective or comprehensive, and why it may be more
suited to certain clients or client problems; and how they account
for research which suggests that no one approach seems more
effective than any other.
