Philosophy and Psychotherapy (Paperback)

Challenging and incisive, Philosophy and Psychotherapy is the first authoritative work to apply philosophical discipline to therapeutic claims and counter claims. Author Edward Erwin discusses some of the key philosophical issues that have a particular relevance to psychotherapeutic theoryùautonomy and free choice, the nature of the self, epistemology, and values and moralsùas well as examining specific interdisciplinary issues that cut across the boundaries between philosophy and psychotherapy. In addition, he also looks at the crisis in psychotherapy today, offering a valuable philosophical insight into the debate about the proliferation and efficacy of therapeutic approaches. Philosophy and Psychotherapy breaks new ground and will encourage all psychotherapists, counselors, and applied psychologists to reexamine their practice and clarify their thinking. It is clearly a significant contribution to the critical analysis of one of the most influential systems of thought and practice of our time.
