""Robertson and Freshwater explicitly use the development of a
therapeutic relationship and, parallel with it, the development of
an individual psyche, as a vehicle for their exploration of
emotions and needs. The subtlety is that their exploration, like
psychotherapy itself, begins with the complexity and ends with the
simplicity." Self & Society"
Through the centrality of the concepts of needs and emotions,
this volume describes and discusses issues that are fundamental to
psychotherapy. As an alternative to classifying modalities of
psychotherapy (and the way in which they understand needs and
emotions) by their author, era or underpinning philosophy, this
book focuses instead on the emotional patterning of
psychotherapy.
The book explores need and emotion in relation to what patients
bring to therapy and what subsequently facilitates effective
engagement. Examining ways of understanding the manifestation of
needs and emotions, the authors bring differing therapeutic schools
of thought together in contemporary models of integrative
psychotherapy which draw upon the transpersonal, postmodern and
poststructural. The book is illustrated throughout with clinical
vignettes which help the reader ground the theoretical concepts in
everyday practice.
The discussions in this volume not only add to the current body
of knowledge surrounding the fundamental concepts of emotions and
needs, but also make a long overdue contribution to the
psychotherapeutic professions. "Emotions and Needs" will be of
interest to students and practitioners in fields such as:
counselling, psychotherapy, clinical psychology and social
work.
