Psychotherapy and counselling are now widely available to help
people overcome emotional and psychological difficulties in their
lives. They involve spending time with a professional in an
emotionally safe and structured relationship to explore and express
the issues that cause distress and difficulty, whether long term
self-doubts, relationship problems, or the impact of a trauma or
crisis. As a society, we now take this focus on talking through and
understanding our identity and relationships for granted, but it is
hardly more than a century old. In this Very Short Introduction,
Tom Burns and Eva Burns-Lundgren trace the development of
psychotherapy from its origins in Freud's psychoanalysis to the
range of different approaches - counselling, cognitive behaviour
therapy, and other time-limited therapies, mindfulness, group and
family therapies, and many more. Describing the processes central
to them all and highlighting their differences, they demonstrate
what problems each therapy are best suited for. They explain the
principles behind the most commonly available types of
psychotherapies and provide examples of what patients can expect
when they seek such help. They conclude by examining the practice
of psychotherapy - the types of training psychotherapists have, the
safeguards that exist to keep practice reliable, and how one goes
about choosing a psychotherapist. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds
of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our
