This book does exactly that.... This is a book which would be equally useful to the humanistic practitioner and the more orthodox one. The breadth of sympathy is admirable in dealing with what is common to all orientations. This is one of those rare books which does justice both to the human experiences involved in counselling and psychotherapy, and to the theory which might explain those experiences′ - Changes What is the experience of counselling from the perspectives of both client and counsellor? What can be learned for the practice of counselling from an understanding of how it feels to be a client or a counsellor? Addressing these questions, central to this book are the personal accounts of individual clients and counsellors, who each relate their own very different experiences of counselling. They explore such issues as identity, expectations, trust, power and boundaries in the client-counsellor relationship. And each examines the intense personal meanings of `success′ or `failure′ in the client or counsellor role. An analysis of the implications for the counselling relationship concludes the volume.

Book excerpt: This volume is the result of a series of interviews which took place in the summer of 1990, when Windy Dryden met with a European academic in the field of psychotherapy.

In a conversation directed towards clients, Dryden looks at the issues to take into account when deciding whether or not counselling could be helpful, and how to make the best use of it.

In the final interview Dryden discusses various personal issues including his goals for the future.

Download or read book Psychotherapy And Its Discontents written by Dryden, Windy and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 1992-06-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychotherapists and critics of psychotherapy outline their views and answer their adversaries. The critics draw attention to the inadequacy of research validating the results of psychotherapy and argue that no treatment at all may be as effective as therapy, that some people's experience of therapy is harmful, that there is a preciousness and pretentiousness about many psychotherapists, that psychotherapists may be flawed and exploitative, that psychotherapy is anachronistically detached from the new-paradigm views, and that psychotherapy embodies a form of psychological reductionism that weakens its credibility. The object of this book is to reduce the antagonism between the two camps so that future debate can be more constructive than hitherto.
