Introducing Psychotherapy (Introducing...)

"Introducing Psychotherapy is a superb follow-up to Introducing Psychology (by the same author). This sensitively illustrated book not only includes conventional approaches (ie psychoanalysis, cognitive and behavioural therapies, etc) but it also manages to include a useful summary of alternative / complementary therapies (eg spiritual and energy based techniques). As well as being an ideal introduction for anyone wanting to study this broad subject, or even take it up as a career, it is a very handy reference book for anyone just wanting to look up key topics and get a quick understanding. Thoroughly recommended!"

"Introducing Psychotherapy like so many of the introducing series brings to life a fansicating topic that you may have read about in a stuffy old textbook or heard about on the television Through a perfect balance of humour and comicbook pictures and text psychotherapy comes alive as a powerful and useful set of talking treatments used to treat mental disorders.
Psychotherapy is a huge topic and one that is widely misunderstood often being mistaken for 'counselling' which is a unique part of psychotherapy.
The authors chart the course of psychotherapy through the ages, how it has developed into hundreds of different treatments, what they aim to do and the mental disorders they aim to treat.
The book is fanscinating and is the ideal starting point for anyone wanting to do psychotherapy or for anyone embarking on working in mental health and for those with many years of experience."
