`This is a very important book.... This is a book that clearly
challenges those of us who subscribe to a view of the self in
relationship with society to examine ourselves and our practices
and respond appropriately' - Self & Society This pioneering
book demonstrates that counselling and psychotherapy cannot be
separated from the social conditions and context in which
practitioners and their clients operate. Until now, no single text
has brought together and considered the two areas of psychotherapy
and social science in conjunction. The book opens with a discussion
of the points of convergence and divergence between psychotherapy
and social science. David Pilgrim then concentrates on the
relationship between mental health and gender, class, race, age and
professionalism, asking and examining a number of questions about
each and summarizing the relevant social research. Further chapters
explore the role of therapy in relation to the personal,
organizational and political context of its practice. The book
concludes by providing a critical analysis of the
professionalization of `talking treatments' and the experience of
service users.
