Zusammenfassung

Therapy is not a matter of technique but is rather an art or craft and has much to learn from other forms of art and craft, such as painting, fiction, music and poetry. Like artists, therapists need to feel free if they are to be truly creative. This book presents an argument for that therapeutic freedom.

The Hope of Therapy Zusammenfassung

The Hope of Therapy Paul Gordon

Therapy is inherently an ethical endeavour, both in the sense that the therapist is called upon to be responsible to and for the other who seeks help, and in the sense that it is inevitably bound up with ideas about how we should live and how we should treat one another. Therapy is not a matter of technique but is rather an art or craft and has much to learn from other forms of art and craft, such as painting, fiction, music and poetry. Like artists, therapists need to feel free if they are to be truly creative. This book is an argument for that therapeutic freedom. Like art, therapy inevitably carries within it an idea of hope, hope both for the individual who seeks help and hope for a better world.

The Hope of Therapy Bewertungen

To heal somebody you need first to be an expert in recognising the wounds. paul Gordon knows about the 100 despairs hidden behind the term flexibility, the emotional mutilations inflicted by the present global economy. In this green oasis of a book there's a well of compassion. It will help you to help - John Berger, novelist, critic and essayist. This is a small book with a powerful message. The author's thesis is that therapy is not a scientific or technical process but 'rather an art of craft requiring a particular sensiblilty or dispostition' which he sees as an ethical endeavour. He presents his well-reasoned rationale thoughtfully, humanely and with passion - his desire is to eradicate smugness and quick cures, and to make inflexible frameworks more flexible. Jenny Bloomer, Counsellor/Psychotherapist, Therapy Today July 2009
