More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The authors propose to investigate the meaning and purpose of boundaries within and around the therapeutic experience. The term boundary is borrowed from geography; as in geography, boundaries can function as barriers or delineators. They can 'keep in' or 'keep out'; they can hinder or enable safe passage from one place to another. A boundary is more than a simple line delineating one space from another; it is an entity with properties that demand a response if they are to be negotiated. Boundaries circumscribe a space that can be viewed objectively, or experienced subjectively, as a 'container'. For the uninitiated, this therapeutic container can be difficult to penetrate. Even health professionals such as GPs and psychiatrists often do not know how to access psychotherapy organisations and their referral networks. Also, real constraints on the availability of counselling and psychotherapy within the National Health Service, and the cost of private sector services, may prohibit access to the help being sought. The book explores aspects such as the gradual evolution of therapeutic boundaries in psychodynamic work, boundary development in infancy and childhood, the role of the therapist s mind and the therapeutic setting, confidentiality and issues such as money and time.

Format:Paperback
Nice and clear writing style makes this overview of the frame a very quick read. Elements are presented in a meaningful series, most followed up with a vignette or clinical example to illustrate - these work well. The book is well balanced and conveys the significance of each area/theme without getting bogged down in detail. I plan on exploring other books in this series on the basis of this read.
The authors seem a tiny bit precious about marking out hierarchies of practitioners but this is a very minor quibble.
