This book arose out of the experiences of a group of counselors and
psychotherapists working in the Service for the Seriously Ill and
Disabled at the Westminster Pastoral Foundation between 1987 and
2001. The basic model used is psychodynamic, once weekly therapy,
with home or hospital visits when necessary. Ten therapists
contribute to the book, and two chapters are written by
patients/clients.During their working life most therapists will
meet patients/clients who are disabled or who develop serious or
life threatening illness. Therapists are often unprepared for this
encounter, which raises questions about their own mortality, and
the meaning of life and death. This book aims to show how
therapists can work effectively with ill or disabled people, by
facing their fears, adjusting their techniques and, above all, by
learning from the patient.Experiencing, thinking, and technique are
the cornerstones of the therapeutic process, which the book
reflects. Comprising thirteen chapters, the book begins and ends
with the technical framework for the work-the assessment of
physically ill or disabled people for therapy and the supervision
of therapists working with such individuals. Six chapters are
predominantly concerned with case material experiences, while other
chapters focus more on understanding and technique.The
