The Impossibility of Sex: Stories of the Intimate Relationship between Therapist and Patient
Our Price: $23.76 (with free UK delivery)
The Impossibility of Sex breaks new ground by taking us into the center of the therapy relationship, one usually shrouded by therapist-client confidentiality.
Illusions: A Psychodynamic Interpretation of Thinking and Belief
Our Price: $88.64 (with free UK delivery)
Through a series of parallels running across different disciplines, Michael Jacobs demonstrates the possible analysis of modes of thinking and belief, from intuitive pre-thinking, through authority-driven thinking and belief, and personal and polymathic knowledge, to un-knowing, the last concept being one that is shared by Bion, Winnicott and a major mystical tradition. Using this theoretical model the book provides a map to how clients (and indeed therapists) might think and believe, suggesting ways in which they may be supported as they shift through different modes, with all the anxiety that disillusionment brings.
Psychotherapy & Spirituality: Crossing the Line between Therapy and Religion
Our Price: $90.80 (with free UK delivery)
This thoughtful and intelligent book encourages psychotherapists and counsellors to consider seriously the relationship between spiritual experiences and therapeutic practice. It proposes that therapy itself can be seen as a spiritual process and discusses the implications of this view for therapists, clients and the wider world.
The Shadow and the Counsellor: Working with the Darker Aspects of the Person, the Role and the Profession
Our Price: $64.85 (with free UK delivery)
The Shadow and the Counsellor introduces the concept of shadow, the darker side to ourselves that we do not wish to acknowledge, or do not even recognise. It examines how it comes into being and explores its impact within counselling.
The Illusion of Love: Why the Battered Woman Returns to Her Abuser
Our Price: $58.36 (with free UK delivery)
The Illusion of Love challenges the prevailing model, which views the victim of abuse as a normal woman who is unable to escape from her batterer due to the effects of terror and psychological collapse. Instead, David Celani offers a new answer-that women who are battered have a fundamental attraction to partners who are abusive.
