Description

Over the last few decades, psychotherapy and counseling have become mo re and more popular, with many people turning to therapists in the hop e of finding a better, happier, more fulfilling life. In this cogently argued and beautifully written book, Peter Lomas argues that as psych otherapy enters the mainstream, therapists have become dependent on th e technical aspects of their profession at the expense of the many mor al issues involved. In fact, Lomas believes therapists have grown so a fraid of moralizing or of departing from what he views as a spurious s cientific neutrality that the dialog between therapist and patient is distorted, potentially confusing, and too remote from the healthy real ity of ordinary conversation. He provides a lucid and thought-provokin g addition to the literature on psychotherapy that will appeal to both trainee and practicing therapists and counselors, people in therapy, and those considering embarking on it.
