The Hope of Therapy

Autor Paul Gordon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2008
Therapy is not a matter of technique but is rather an art or craft and has much to learn from other forms of art and craft, such as painting, fiction, music and poetry. Like artists, therapists need to feel free if they are to be truly creative. This book presents an argument for that therapeutic freedom.

Recenzii

To heal somebody you need first to be an expert in recognising the wounds. paul Gordon knows about the 100 despairs hidden behind the term flexibility, the emotional mutilations inflicted by the present global economy. In this green oasis of a book there's a well of compassion. It will help you to help - John Berger, novelist, critic and essayist. This is a small book with a powerful message. The author's thesis is that therapy is not a scientific or technical process but 'rather an art of craft requiring a particular sensiblilty or dispostition' which he sees as an ethical endeavour. He presents his well-reasoned rationale thoughtfully, humanely and with passion - his desire is to eradicate smugness and quick cures, and to make inflexible frameworks more flexible.
