Dancing between Hope and Despair by Sue Wright
Why is hope so fundamental to our existence? Hope is increasingly being acknowledged as an important factor both for people’s resilience and for positive therapeutic outcomes. In considering this and many other questions, this evocative textbook introduces the reader to the repeated shifting, or 'dance', between hope and despair that is so often encountered by practitioners working with profoundly traumatised individuals. This book brings a sharp focus to the ways in which therapeutic relationships can draw individuals out of the constant oscillation between light and dark. It provides an insightful and thoughtful discussion not just about despair itself, but about how to be with despair. Informed by the author's own years of experience in the field of psychotherapy, this engaging and stimulating book provides practical guidance on how students, trainees and practitioners can inspire fresh hope in deeply troubled clients.
This is a comprehensive and accessible, well-researched, and up-to-date “how-to” book on trauma therapyIt integrates the best of old and new psychological theories, supports work with mind and body, embraces the transpersonal, and is beautifully written with helpful case illustrations, great compassion and honesty, and an inclusive attitude towards struggling clients. * Alexandra Maeja Raicar, Counsellor and Psychotherapist *
This is a comprehensive and accessible, well-researched, and up-to-date ‘how-to’ book on trauma therapy … It seems to me that in any human endeavour hope and faith are closely intertwined, and so it is appropriate that Wright ends this thought-provoking book … with a quote from Albert Schweitzer (1968): ‘all work that is worth anything is done in faith.’ * Alexandra Maeja Raicar, Attachment Journal, Vol. 14 *
