Overview

Six therapists are given the opportunity of assessing Charlie: what do they wish to know about her?; how do they understand her?; how might they work with her?; and what outcome can they predict for her as a result of therapy? In this book - which starts with Charlie's own story - the reader has the chance to see six different therapists at work, drawing on the same initial material from the one real client. The similarities and differences between therapies and therapists are highlighted. And at the end, the reader is able to enter Charlie's experience of the process and decide, with her, which therapist she might choose. This volume should be of interest to a wide range of students and practitioners involved in counselling and psychotherapy, particularly those interested in comparing different therapeutic approaches.

Reviews

"This book does offer some in-roads into the careful and refined procedures that take place in psychotherapy without compromising too much the aesthetics, essence and compassion that underpins the work and one is struck throughout by the sensitivity of the therapists in each case. In establishing standards for practice and monitoring the efficacy of treatment, this book provides an exemplar of placing thepatient at the centre of the feedback process...identifying a therapist you can believe in has a fundamental impact on the therapeutic endeavour." - Therapeutic Communities
