Full Description
Disability Psychotherapy explores the growing practice of working psychotherapeutically with people with disabilities.
Over three parts, the book explores the history of disability psychotherapy, working as a disability psychotherapist and applications of disability psychotherapy. The contributors, representing a range of approaches, describe the practice of disability psychotherapy through clinical material, discuss their experiences of working in the field, and reflect on their learnings. The book also considers the contributions of the Institute of Psychotherapy and Disability, and how relational attachment work with patients, colleagues, research and clinical writing creates a thriving community.
Disability Psychotherapy will be of interest to experienced and student psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, counsellors, educators, carers, parents, advocates and anyone who is concerned about widening the opportunity for people with disabilities and their networks access to high quality psychotherapy treatment.
