Understanding Mental Health and Counselling provides a critical
introduction to key debates about how problems of mental health are
understood, and to the core approaches taken to working with
counselling and psychotherapy clients. In drawing out the
differences and intersections between professional and social
understandings of mental health and counselling theory and
practice, the book fosters critical thinking about effective and
ethical work with mental health service users and therapy clients.
With chapters by noted academic writers and service-user
researchers, and content enlivened by activities, first-person
accounts and case material, the book provides a key resource for
both counselling and psychotherapy trainees and those interested in
the broader field of mental health.
A cutting-edge text that provides a comprehensive introduction to
mental health problems and criminal behaviour, this book explores
the link between mental health and criminality and considers the
most common and effective therapeutic approaches for working with
offenders and victims of crime. * Part 1 explores the predominant
tensions between forensic and therapeutic agendas; * Part 2
considers how criminal and 'insane' identities and careers may be
considered gendered, classed, culturally and age-dependent
experiences, and be related to power and oppression; * Part 3
examines issues around sex and sexuality in forensic and
therapeutic settings; * Part 4 introduces a range of therapeutic
approaches for working with offenders and victims of crime; * Part
5 covers forensic and therapeutic practices, including programmes
for the prevention of both mental health issues and offending.
Edited by an expert team from the Open University and written by a
broad range of contributors, this book draws on a wealth of
experience in this popular subject area. It will be a key text for
students of forensic psychology, counselling and psychotherapy, and
for health and social care professionals working in therapeutic and
forensic settings.
Research is a vital and often daunting component of many
counselling and psychotherapy courses. As well as completing their
own research projects, trainees across modalities must understand
the research in the field - what it tells them and how to do it.
Breaking down this seemingly mountainous task into easy to swallow
pieces, this book will navigate your students through each stage of
the research process, from choosing a research question, through
the pros and cons of different methods, to data analysis and
writing up their findings. Written by leading contributors from the
field including John McLeod, Mick Cooper and Tim Bond, each chapter
features points for reflection, engaging activities and suggestions
for further reading, helping students to engage with all aspects of
research. An original graphic narrative runs throughout the book,
bringing this complex topic to life in a unique way. Whether
embarking on research for the first time or already a little
familiar with research and research methods, this unique guide is
something counselling and psychotherapy students will turn to
continually throughout their research projects.
Understanding Counselling and Psychotherapy focuses on common
problems such as anxiety and depression, exploring how different
therapeutic approaches understand and work with them. Counselling
and psychotherapy are considered within the wider context of their
history and the mental health systems in which they are often
located. In addition to this, the book introduces key aspects of
the theory and practice of counselling and psychotherapy, and the
increasing relevance of research in this area. - Section 1
introduces counselling and psychotherapy and the history of these
professions, considering how current understandings of 'mental
health problems' have been influenced by psychiatric diagnosis,
biomedical approaches and psychoanalysis. - Section 2 covers four
key therapeutic approaches - humanistic, existential,
cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness - exploring how they work
with problems relating to fear and sadness. - Section 3 focuses on
therapeutic perspectives that specifically address problems in a
wider context, such as relationships, families, cultural groups and
society. - Section 4 considers practice and research issues in
counselling and psychotherapy, including the different contexts and
settings in which these take place, the therapeutic relationship,
and outcome and process research. This accessible and stimulating
text uses innovative activities and case illustrations to
demonstrate how people experience common problems, and how
counsellors and psychotherapists work with these.
