Emotional crises and breakdowns are not things going wrong in
individuals minds: they are disturbances in their relations with
themselves and others. In psychotherapy an attempt is made to
resolve such crises through a therapeutic relationship with an
individual or in a group. First published in 1984, this book
introduces the theory of individual and group therapy, and explains
some of its principles in practice.
Although there had been a rapid development of ideas in the area
of psychotherapy at the time, it was only recently before original
publication of this book that these had been related to theory.
Keith Oatley assesses the influence of cognitive social psychology,
psychoanalysis and the existential/phenomenological tradition, and
considers the role of emotions, thinking and social interactions in
therapeutic transformation. The theory, he argues, must also be
related to the research findings on the outcomes of different
therapies.
This book is for those who study psychotherapy in psychology,
psychiatry, counselling and social work and for anyone who wants to
know what psychotherapy was about in the 1980s."
