Autor Frankie Brown, Kate Smithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2023
Written in an accessible style by experts in the field, the book provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the pluralistic approach in theory and practice, and builds on the contemporary developments in the field. The questions cover five areas, including an overview of pluralism, pluralism in practice, client factors, pluralistic developments outside of individual therapy, and critical questions about pluralism. The questions also cover some of the key challenges posed to the approach.
This book will appeal to a wide range of audiences, including therapeutic practitioners, researchers, and professionals interested in the application of the approach within mental health contexts. It will also serve to help professionals from non-therapy backgrounds such as mental health services, education, and social care, understand the nature of pluralistic work.

Professional Reference and Professional TrainingRecenzii
‘I love this book. A clear, concise, and wonderfully engaging introduction to the pluralistic approach to therapy. The book conveys a deep understanding of the philosophical roots of pluralism, along with clear guidance on how these principles can be applied in practice. Research findings are integrated throughout to develop a compelling, contemporary perspective. This is a goldmine of information on how to think and practice pluralistically—if you’ve got questions on the pluralistic approach to therapy, this is the place to come.’
Mick Cooper, Professor of Counselling Psychology, University of Roehampton; co-author of Pluralistic counselling and psychotherapy and co-editor of The Handbook of Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy.
'This is an intelligent, well written and accessible book that beautifully captures the essence of pluralistic therapy. By addressing the kinds of questions that are often in the minds of students and practitioners who encounter this approach, it offers a valuable introduction to what we know about pluralistic therapy so far, illustrated by case examples from the practical experience of the authors. It is a ‘must read' for all pluralistic trainees and practitioners who want to defend and explain their practice to colleagues, wish to develop a deeper understanding of what they do with clients and why, and are committed to working in ways that deliver an ethical and competent service to their clients.'
Julia McLeod, Lecturer in Counselling, Abertay University
'I really appreciated the ability of these authors to capture and convey the growing edge of pluralistic practice, as an approach that has always been grounded in a willingness to be open to dialogue and new ideas. An invaluable addition to the growing theoretical, research and practice literature on pluralistic counselling and psychotherapy.'
John McLeod, Visiting Professor of Counselling, Institute for Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, Dublin
'Interest in pluralistic therapy has grown steadily over the last couple of decades as practitioners have moved away from a ‘one size fits all’ approach to working with clients, instead building on true collaborative relationship informed through inclusivity and the context of social justice. Frankie Brown and Kate Smith, in an engaging and accessible way, provide a perfect gateway into pluralism that values and respects the unique contribution of individual models while, at the same time, exploring how they can be woven into the therapeutic process informed by client preference. From the curious, to those who have embraced pluralism into the heart and soul of their work, this book is compelling and essential in equal measure that will inform thinking for years to come.'
Professor Andrew Reeves, Professor in Counselling Professions and Mental Health, a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist and Registered Social Worker
'This book is a comprehensive, concise and considered exploration of the key tenets of Pluralistic Therapy. It is an accessible read for the beginner as well as a primer and refresher for the more advanced student. It is an engaging text and an important source of philosophical and clinical information with valuable insights and explanation into this cutting edge approach. It will evoke and encourage critical thinking and questioning of important facets of theory and practice. In addition it will add to the ever-expanding body of knowledge and promote further debate and deliberations as the pluralistic approach to therapy widens its reach and applicability. As a higher education institute that teaches a masters in Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, we will definitely place this on the required reading list for our students.'
