    Book SynopsisAlthough it is a natural and inescapable part of life, death is a subject that is often neglected in psychotherapeutic literature and training. In When Death Enters the Therapeutic Space Laura Barnett and her contributors offer us insights into working with mortality in the therapeutic encounter.Taking an existential perspective, the book brings together a variety of client groups, all of whom have experienced a confrontation with mortality, and encourages the reader to engage with and reflect upon the subject of death. Although this may initially evoke anxiety and distress, Barnett and her contributors introduce the reader to the ''vitality of death'' (Koestenbaum): an energy and focus that can come from confronting our greatest fears and anxieties, including the anxiety aroused by our own mortality. Topics covered include: philosophical roots and principal approaches to existential therapy health related issues includingTrade Review"Though mourning and intimations of mortality often enter the therapeutic space, few psychotherapy books focus on this. At the same time, the therapeutic input into UK palliative services is often not strategically thought through, not the least because of voluntary sector involvement with NHS services. This book is therefore a welcome exploration of therapeutic practice when dealing with death... As a consultant practitioner in the field, I can see myself using this book as part of an educational programme. It is a valuable contribution to the ongoing development of this specialism within the therapeutic field." - Ana Draper, Mortality, Vol. 14, No. 4, November 2009 "Though mourning and intimations of mortality often enter the therapeutic space, few psychotherapy books focus on this.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Gestalt Therapy Advances in Theory and Practice

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Gestalt approach is based on the philosophy that the human being is born with the healthy ability to regulate needs and wants in relationship with the environment in which she/he lives. Heightening of personal awareness and exploration of needs is enabled by the therapist who actively engages in supporting and assisting the therapeutic journey of the client. Gestalt Therapy: Advances in Theory and Practice is a collaboration of some of the best thinkers in the Gestalt therapy approach. It offers a summary of recent advances in theory and practice, and novel ideas for future development. Each chapter focuses on a different element of the Gestalt approach and, with contributors from around the world, each offers a different perspective of its ongoing evolution in relation to politics, religion and philosophy. Incorporating ideas about community, field theory, family and couple therapy, politics and spirituality, this book will be of interest not only to Gestalt therapists but also to non-Gestalt practitioners, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. Counselling, behavioural science and psychotherapy students will also find this a valuable contribution to their learning. Trade Review"Gestalt Therapy: Advances in Theory and Practice is a comprehensive and thoughtful exploration of Gestalt theory and practice written by a diverse group of contemporary thinkers. This collection is a brave and honest examination of Gestalt therapy which seems to fulfill the editor's wish to take the 'now' into the 'next'." - Teresa Siegle Prevatte, The Professional Counselor Journal, March 2012"This book invites us to move away from some of the Gestalt principles as we know them. It presents many challenges to our existing concepts and I believe bringsup to date our understanding on philosophy, field theory, and a revision of some of our founding concepts to include neuroscience, embodiment, and a move toward a group approach to therapy. I enjoyed reading this book and am sure it will have a great impact on many clinicians as they review their practice." - Bill Waistell, British Gestalt Journal, Spring 2012Table of ContentsTudor, Preface.

    Book SynopsisThe Empty Couch is an introduction to the challenges and obstacles inherent in ageing as a psychoanalyst. It addresses the previously neglected issue of ill health, as well as the significance of ageing for psychoanalysts, exploring the analyst's attitude towards getting older, impermanence and sense of time and space. Covering a wide range of topics Gabriele Junkers brings together expert contributors who discuss the problems of getting physically ill and how to conduct psychoanalysis as an ill therapist. Chapters also address the effects that ageing has on professional stamina, the grief inevitably caused by the losses endured in later life and inquires into the role that institutions (the relevant psychoanalytic institutes or societies) can play in this context. Setting out to encourage discussion on this vital topic, The Empty Couch brings this neglected area into sharp focus.
