Books in the Short Introductions to the Therapy Professions series

This short introduction to psychoanalysis manages to distil a notoriously complex subject into an accessible, concise and practical overview for undergraduates and postgraduates who need a basic but broad grounding in psychoanalysis as part of their counselling/psychotherapy training.

A current and practical book which provides a clear overview of the counselling psychology profession, including the nature of the work; taining, continuing professional development and career pathways; the structure and development of the profession; and more.

Linda Gask gives readers a clear picture of psychiatry as it is today. She describes the development of the profession, the route to qualification and the scope of contemporary practice, including the work done by psychiatrists in a range of specialisms - from child psychiatry to addiction services and forensic psychiatry.

Setting out the theoretical and practical dimensions of clinical psychology, the authors examine its origins, knowledge base and applications with different client groups, in different contexts and through different modalities.
