| Description: |
Psychotherapy and Society examines the shared theoretical roots of the traditions of psychotherapy and social science and the application of wider sociological work to mental health. After discussing the points of convergence and divergence between psychotherapy and sociology, David Pilgrim concentrates on issues surrounding gender, class, race, age and professionalism. He also looks at: the different contexts of therapy; the professionalization of psychotherapy; and clients' experiences of psychotherapy |
| Synopsis: |
`This is a very important book.... This is a book that clearly challenges those of us who subscribe to a view of the self in relationship with society to examine ourselves and our practices and respond appropriately' - Self & SocietyThis pioneering book demonstrates that counselling and psychotherapy cannot be separated from the social conditions and context in which practitioners and their clients operate. Until now, no single text has brought together and considered the two areas of psychotherapy and social science in conjunction.The book opens with a discussion of the points of convergence and divergence between psychotherapy and social science. David Pilgrim then concentrates on the relationship between mental health and gender, class, race, age and professionalism, asking and examining a number of questions about each and summarizing the relevant social research. Further chapters explore the role of therapy in relation to the personal, organizational and political context of its practice. The book concludes by providing a critical analysis of the professionalization of `talking treatments' and the experience of service users. |
