The Muse as Therapist: A New Poetic Paradigm for Psychotherapy by Heward Wilkinson
English | February 10th, 2018 | ISBN: 1855755955 | 291 pages | EPUB | 2.22 MB
In recent years there has been a cautious movement towards seeing psychotherapy and counselling as arts not as sciences. In this rich, yet rigorous, multidisciplinary text, this movement is explored in terms of poetry; therapy; dreams; literary texts; Heideggerian, Kantian, and post-modern philosophy; the modern developmental theorising of Daniel Stern; and the politics of psychotherapy regulation. This path-breaking book offers a grounded challenge to reductive visions of the therapy process.
