Straight Talking Introduction to Psychological Treatments for Mental Health Problems by David Pilgrim
Psychological treatments is shorthand for a range of interventions, which are called 'talking treatment', 'psychological therapy', 'counselling' or 'psychotherapy'. In this compact book, David Pilgrim explores the origins, trustworthiness and usefulness of these interventions and concludes with a comprehensive glossary describing over 20 different approaches to psychotherapy. The challenging content and accessible style ensure that therapy practitioners, support workers, students and users of mental health services will be both informed and stimulated.
It would be unwise to venture into the moral and conceptual jungle that is psychological treatment without a highly competent, experienced and level-headed guideIn this succinct and informative book, David Pilgrim demonstrates that he is precisely that.
