This book analyses the debates around the related concepts of
barriers, defences and resistance across different forms of
psychotherapy. Rather than presenting a single model, different
understandings and usages of these terms are compared and
contrasted using biopsychosocial, developmental and contextual
perspectives. The book suggests how divergent theoretical positions
might usefully be connected, but also highlights the pitfalls of
poaching ideas and metaphors from other approaches with different
epistemological or ethical foundations. Readers are invited to
reflect on their own habitual and preferred standpoints in therapy,
supervision and training, to help enhance the use of self in
therapeutic relationships. Like other books in the series, the main
focus of this book is on theoretical integration and interplay
rather than practice, but clinical implications are also discussed
throughout. Barriers, Defences and Resistance succeeds in
discussing these concepts not simply in relation to therapy itself,
but in relation to the broader field of professional psychotherapy
such as supervision and training. It is essential reading for
counsellors, counselling and clinical psychologists,
psychotherapists and health professionals with an interest in
therapeutic relationships.
