`Erwin's argumentative skills and knowledge of the literature are
remarkable and most of his original claims are persuasive....The
merit of the analysis Erwin offers is to provide a well-informed
and accessible account of the current state of psychotherapy, its
history and its philosophical grounds' - Metapsychology Online `For
those readers who favour an empirical-scientific approach to
counselling and therapy, and who view therapy, at least potentially
or in principle, as an objective science, this will no doubt be a
very useful and informative book... We should be grateful that
Erwin has set out more fully than anyone to date the specifically
philosophical case for a "science of therapy"; and those of a New
Paradigm persuasion at least now know the nature of the arguments
they will have to refute in order to sustain their position. I look
forward with eager anticipation to their efforts, and to an
emerging and fruitful engagement between philosophy and therapy -
for both have a great deal to learn from each other' - Counselling,
The Journal of the British Association for Counselling and
Psychotherapy This pioneering book analyzes the interface between
philosophy and psychotherapy. The first authoritative work to apply
rigorous philosophical discipline to therapeutic claims and
counter-claims, it will encourage psychotherapists, counsellors and
applied psychologists to examine their practice and clarify their
thinking. Edward Erwin discusses some of the key philosophical
issues that have a particular relevance to psychotherapeutic theory
- autonomy and free choice, the nature of the self, epistemology,
and values and morals - as well as examining specific
interdisciplinary issues that cut across the boundaries between
philosophy and psychotherapy. Finally, he looks at the `crisis' in
psychotherapy today, offering a valuable philosophical insight into
the debate about the proliferation and efficacy of therapeutic
approaches.
