The Content of Psychological Distress makes the case for focusing
psychological attention on the content of people's distressing
experience. The growing demand for counselling and therapy in
difficult financial times has created pressure to keep work short
and highly structured. This has increased reliance on set
procedures and categories at the expense of the personal and
specific. The book looks at the rationale for, and practical steps
involved in, taking individuals' accounts of their concerns as a
starting point. It treats these as a foundation on which approaches
of various kinds can be laid. It considers the impact of doing so
on building relationships and improving the accuracy and richness
of the work undertaken. The book is illustrated with examples from
general mental health and particular psychological therapies, as
well as with applications to pain, intensive care, cancer,
paediatrics and forensic learning difficulties. This is a timely
and important book for students, trainees and practitioners that
contains reflections on the historical and philosophical background
to the subject. It relates what is argued to a range of existing
ideas and approaches concerned with making psychological work
ethical and patient-centred.
