Richard Worsley

Process Work in Person-Centred Therapy (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This unique and important book breaks new ground in the theory and practice of person-centred psychotherapy by focusing on the issue of process.

Process belongs to both client and counsellor. Worsley conceptualises process in relation to the core principles of the person-centred approach but also to the humanistic and phenomenological roots of person-centred therapy. Combining academic rigour with the wisdom of an experienced clinical practitioner, he opens up a more inclusive and integrative way of being with clients that nonetheless chimes with classical person-centred principles.

The book features:

- Activities and vivid case studies to illustrate and expand on the theoretical points being developed, allowing the reader to see easily how these might apply to practice.
- Engagement with theoretical approaches such as transactional analysis and Gestalt, as well as discussion of philosophy, spirituality and psychopathology.
- New discussion of the processes involved in mental illness, drawing on the work of Prouty and Warner to understand the client's world of experiencing.
- New material on the plural self and configurations of the self.
