`This is a book that the person-centered psychotherapy community has been waiting for ... this book opens a creative space in which the ongoing conversation about therapeutic efficacy in times of shrinking resources can be successfully engaged′ - Professor Maureen O′Hara, Chair, Department of Psychology, National University, La Jolla, California `A wide-ranging and scholarly book which shows that person-centred therapy is fully alive to the challenges of the twenty-first century and is breaking new ground both clinically and theoretically′ - Professor Brian Thorne, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of East Anglia "Likely to be of interest to anyone involved in counselling" - Times Higher Educaton Magazine, May 2009 Can the person-centred approach work in time-limited psychotherapy and counselling? This is a question that many practitioners grapple with as demand for brief therapy increases - particularly in the public sector. Brief Person-Centred Therapies is the first book to tackle the subject, bringing together the experience and insights of a leading international team of person-centred therapists. The book examines the philosophical and theoretical ′fit′ between the person-centred approach and brief therapy. It also explores the issues which arise when working briefly in a range of different settings, including primary care, higher education, business, and prison, with couples and groups. Brief Person-Centred Therapies is essential reading for all person-centred trainees and for practitioners who want to work in services where brief or time-limited work is required or favoured. Keith Tudor is a UKCP registered psychotherapist, and has a private/independent practice in Sheffield offering therapy, supervision and consultancy. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Being a novice counsellor, my initial stance in relation to brief counselling was an unaccepting one as it did not fit my conception of the person-centred approach, being one that gives autonomy and power to the client. Therefore, the duration of counselling should, insofar as reasonably possible, be determined by the client and not imposed by the counsellor or (much worse!) an organisation or agency. However, one of my placements is in an NHS, time-limited clinic and I now have experience of the therapeutic change a client can achieve in a relatively short time (notwithstanding that some would have preferred to extend the number of sessions). I found of great help Isabel Gibbard's insightful comparison of the limited resources available within the health care to that faced by the human race on a global scale, the world's resources being finite and cannot be exploited as if they are limitless. Also, Keith Tudor's pointed reminder that life itself is time-limited.
So, with a new-found preparedness towards acceptance of time-limited therapy, I found much to inform my practice in this book. Much of it relates to experiential therapies, and piques my interest in reading more about Gendlin's Focusing-Oriented Therapy. There's a couple of chapters on Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), which I found very interesting from a training perspective, but somehow still too directive for me (at this stage) to comfortably use with clients.
Much of the book is in the form of practitioners relating how they apply brief therapy in specific settings, such as primary care, a Young Offenders' Institution, student counselling, employee assistance programmes, etc. Being able to see how brief therapy works in real-life settings was, I found, very helpful.
So, not an integrated approach to brief person-centred counselling, but an examination of how some of the tribes making up the PC nation work in a time-limited setting. ( )
