In this, the latest addition to the PCCS Books Critical Examination
series, internationally acknowledged academic and psychotherapist,
teacher and supervisor Keith Tudor focuses his spotlight on
psychotherapy. The aim of the series is to subject the varied psy
professions to rigorous critique by leading proponents in their
fields. As Professor Ian Parker writes in the foreword: `Each
theory is only as strong as its capacity to withstand sustained
critical examination of the assumptions it makes about the
world.’ Written in an accessible, conversational style, and
drawing on a myriad of philosophies and practices, the book can be
read and enjoyed by practitioners, academics and educators at every
level, including students and those contemplating psychotherapy as
a career progression. It aims to represent pluralism, diversity and
internationalism and to encourage continued critical reflection on
psychotherapy as a practice, discipline and profession. Its content
is: • philosophical, in that it deals with fundamental issues of
being human, and the nature of things such as relationships and how
people change. • historical with regard to some of the
traditions, concepts, and discussions in psychotherapy •
political, in that it addresses isues of power and social justice
• reflexive, in that it encourages a critical consciousness and
advocates this in terms of practice • practical, on the basis
that, as Marx put it: `The philosophers have only interpreted the
world... the point is to change it’, and • developmental, in
that it takes the reader on a fascinating journey through becoming,
being and belonging as a psychotherapist. Chapter 1 concerns the
nature of being critical. Chapter 2 questions the nature of
psychotherapy and its scope and purpose. Chapter 3 critiques the
different elements of practice – qualities, attitudes,
conditions, skills and competence. Chapter 4 examines psychotherapy
theory in the context of four intellectual traditions – the
Enlightenment, Romanticism, modernism and postmodernism. Chapter 5
reflects critically on two elements that support critical practice
– personal therapy and supervision. Chapter 6 examines the
knowledge that underpins research, both the methodology and the
practice. Chapter 7 considers education and training in
psychotherapy. Chapter 8 concludes with some critical reflections
on psychotherapy as a discipline, as a profession, and as offering
social criticism.
