Review
'This thoroughly up to date, research-based book on the most typical client presenting concerns is a first class resource, guiding practitioners through all due assessment and therapeutic processes clearly and helpfully. It's hard to imagine it not being required reading on all professional counselling and psychotherapy courses.'
- Colin Feltham, Emeritus Professor of Critical Counselling Studies, Sheffield Hallam University
'The book admirably succeeds in its aim of being both a textbook for trainees and a resource for professionals seeking to deepen their learning...Highly recommended.' Therapy Today

Product Description
Counsellors and psychotherapists can easily find themselves working with people whose emotional distress is rooted in more significant mental health issues.
• What do you need to know to work safely and ethically?
• In what circumstances might you need to refer on?
• How should you interpret available research and guidelines on 'what works'?
• Where does providing a safe space to experience, express and reflect on emotions fit in?
Offering a pluralistic framework that will suit counsellors and therapists across all therapeutic approaches, this clear and cogent text:
• Looks in-depth at a uniquely wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, stress and bereavement, eating disorders, substance misuse, sexual and identity issues, and personality disorders.
• Provides guidance on possible therapeutic approaches and interventions.
• Pinpoints ethical and professional issues for consideration.
• Systematically uses case examples to draw out typical challenges and implications for practice.
• Explores situations where specialist referral is advised.
At once sharply structured and broad-based, The Troubled Mind is designed to work both as a textbook for trainees taking courses on assessment, psychopathology/mental health or research evidence for practice, and as a reference tool for qualified professionals looking to deepen their understanding of this complex spectrum of work.

Format:Paperback
Suzy Churchill's book is a highly readable 250 pages on the most common presenting problems counsellors and psychotherapists are likely to encounter. Depression, anxiety, life events/stages, substance use, childhood and adolescence problems, eating problems, personality disorders, psychoses, problematic sexuality - these are all covered with admirable balance and conciseness. Other chapters on mental health generally (including controversies), assessment and ethical and legal issues, make this text one of the most valuable practical resources now available to practitioners. Up to date with NICE guidance (whatever your views on these), pertinent research and professional issues, complete with useful client vignettes - I recommend The Troubled Mind unreservedly to all trainees and practitioners.
