First published in 2005 as Person-Centred Psychopathology, and now
extensively updated and with a new title, The Handbook of
Person-Centred Therapy and Mental Health challenges the use of
psychiatric diagnoses and makes a powerful case for the
effectiveness of person-centred approaches as the alternative way
to work with people who would otherwise be diagnosed with severe
mental illnesses, such as psychosis, schizophrenia and bipolar
disorder. This updated second edition captures the significant
changes in recent years in how mental health and ill health is
conceptualised and understood, and in how mental health care is
delivered. It demonstrates how the person-centred approach can help
occupy the space that is opening up as mental health professionals
look for alternatives to the medical model. And, while
acknowledging the chasm that separates person-centred practice from
the mainstream medical model, it argues for collaborative working
with these fellow mental health professionals. Contributors from
across the fields of research, policy-making and practice explore
aspects of theory, professionalism, the role of culture, and the
politics of the person-centred approach in relation to mental
health.They demonstrate how Rogers' theories of personality and the
actualising process are able to provide a model of human
functioning that is relevant not just to counselling but to all
mental health professions, and beyond, to the social sciences. They
give examples of how the person-centred approach is being applied
successfully in practice (and successfully evaluated). They offer
personal testament to the challenges and creative dynamics of
working in a person-centred way within mainstream contexts, and
they review the vibrant political and professional divisions and
arguments that continue to inform thinking and practice today. New
chapters examine the influence of the national Improving Access to
Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme in England, and how
researchers are successfully overcoming the challenge of evaluating
the effectiveness of person-centred approaches to severe mental
distress.
