In this innovative book, the authors set out their theory of
Self-in-Relationship Psychotherapy (SIRP), advocating for the
integration of relational, self, and physical intimacy needs in the
conceptualization and treatment of psychological problems, placing
human needs at the center of treatment. This marks a shift in how
psychological and relational problems are understood, currently
being perceived in terms of affects, cognitive processes and
behaviors. Using numerous illustrations from their own clinical
practice, Meier and Boivin contend that this understanding
overlooks the pivotal role that needs play in all aspects of
peoples' personal lives and relationships. Children, adolescents,
and adults do not live primarily from feelings and thoughts, but
from basic psychological and relational, needs such as wanting to
be in a meaningful relationship, having the autonomy and freedom to
make decisions about their lives, experiencing being competent,
being regarded as a significant and important person, and
experiencing emotional, intimate, and sensual and/or sexual
connections. By taking such an approach this book stands out among
other books on psychotherapy theories. Authored by two seasoned
psychologists who have provided therapeutic services to children,
adolescents, and adults for 40 years, this book comprises the
foundational theory for practicing Self-in-Relationship
Psychotherapy, making it of interest to graduate students,
clinicians in training, and practicing psychologists, social
workers, and psychotherapists alike.

"Spirituality and Health: Multidisciplinary Explorations"
examines the relationship between health/well-being and
spirituality. Chap-lains and pastoral counsellors offer
evidence-based research on the importance of spirituality in
holistic health care, and practitioners in the fields of
occupational therapy, clinical psychology, nursing, and oncology
share how spirituality enters into their healing practices. Unique
for its diversity, this collection explores the relationship
between biomedical, psychological, and spiritual points of view
about health and healing.
This is the first book on counselling skills to look in detail at
the practical interventions and tools used to establish the
therapeutic relationship. Step-by-step, the text teaches the reader
exactly how to use these skills with clients to address their
concerns and achieve therapeutic change. Integrative and
pluralistic in approach, the text covers the key techniques from
all the major therapeutic models, placing them in their historical
and theoretical contexts. Techniques covered include empathic
responding, experiential focusing, Gestalt, metaphors,
task-directed imagery, ego state therapy, solution focused therapy,
cognitive behvioral therapy, narrative therapy and
self-in-relationship therapy. The book: - presents each technique
from the perspective of its underlying theory; - gives practical
instruction on how to deliver each intervention; - provides
extracts from counselling sessions to demonstrate the technique in
action. This book is crucial reading for all trainees on
counselling and psychotherapy courses or preparing to use
counselling techniques in a range of other professional settings.
It is also helpful for professionals who wish to acquire additional
