Books in the The School of Psychotherapy & Counselling series

In response to recognition of the importance of the quality of attention and the sense of relatedness in therapeutic change, this book considers how relationships and change can be facilitated by very subtle attention to qualities and flows within the therapeutic process.

Deals with the practical therapeutic applications of philosophical research. This book contains exercises designed to bring out and enlighten the client's values, conception of the good life, well-being, happiness, pleasure, and the proper place of reason in life.

A therapist may be a living expression, or embodiment, of a chosen theoretical approach. Practitioners here articulate their own "embodied thoery". Approaches covered include psychoanalysis, Jungian analysis, rational-emotive behaviour therapy, existential therapy and gestalt.

Difference, prejudice and discrimination are issues which all counsellors and psychotherapists need to address as part of their development. This book helps therapists understand the experience of discrimination, as well as explore their own - often unconscious - attitudes to others, based on gender, sexuality, race, culture or mental health.

Late in life, Heidegger became involved in a project that led to one of the first schools of existential psychotherapy - daseinanalysis. Much of this work emerged in the Zollikon Seminare. Hans Cohn explores the role of Heidegger in providing an alternative basis for psychotherapeutic practice.
