Contemporary practices in mental health (and social care) are
increasingly characterized by approaches that overly simplify
social, political, and psychological concerns. The persistence and
ubiquity of models designated to tackle diagnoses through focused
technologies serve to minimize the human encounter in all its
relational and systemic complexity. Practice becomes a
technological activity instead of one concerned with the unique
creative potential in meeting with others in therapy. With the
growth of privatized mental health services, many practitioners are
facing a plethora of "Must Do's" that focus on measurable outcomes,
with clear goals and cost effective treatments. Yet, in practice,
such apparent clarity of purpose often leads to bureaucratic
clutter and risk aversion instead of clearing the decks for
creativity. The focus of this book is how the practitioner or
therapist can navigate around current practices in order to avoid
falling into the rapids of quick fix solutions, whilst staying
afloat to find realistic outcomes to human dilemmas that are
brought to us.
