Opis

A collection of essays which examine those concepts and questions which are at the heart of both psychotherapy and philosophy. Topics discussed in the text include: the nature of the self; motivation and subjectivity; the limits of certainty and subjectivity; and the scope of narrative, dialogue and therapy itself. Contributors draw on a wide range of philosophical approaches, looking at the work of key figures such as Wittgenstein, Socrates, Kierkegaard, Foucault, Lacan and Klein. Each chapter includes a summary of the implications to clinical practice of the ideas discussed. The book should provide stimulating reading for psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, philosophers and all those who wish to think again about the processes involved in psychotherapy.
