Overview

This volume puts forward the author's paradigm for psychotherapy and counselling based on the assumption that each patient has suffered a disruption of the ""self"", and that the goal of the therapist is to identify and work with that disruption. Using many clinical illustrations, and drawing on self psychology, attachment therapy and theories of trauma, Russell Meares looks at the nature of self and how it develops, before going on to explore the form and feeling of experience when self is disrupted in a traumatic way, and focusing on ways towards the restoration of the self.
