Product Description

Product Description

This work contains Forewords by Brian Thorne and Mike Shooter, respectively Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of East Anglia, Norwich, and Co-Founder of the Norwich Centre; Consultant Psychiatrist and former President, Royal College of Psychiatrists. This book explores, in depth, the link between modern psychiatric practice and the person-centred approach. It promotes an open dialogue between traditional rivals - counsellors and psychiatrists within the NHS - to assist greater understanding and improve practice. Easy to read and comprehend, it explains complex issues in a clear and accessible manner. The author is a full-time psychiatrist and qualified counsellor who offers a unique perspective drawing on personal experience. "Humanising Psychiatry and Mental Health Care" will be of significant interest and help to all mental health professionals including psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses, social care workers, occupational therapists, psychologists, person-centred counsellors and therapists. Health and social care policy makers and shapers, including patient groups, will also find it helpful and informative. "Courageous, a striking commentary. Embodies a hope and a vision which can vanquish despair. This book is the story of what it has meant for the psychiatrist/person-centred counsellor to remain hopeful and resilient in the face of the ever-deepening crisis in the powerfully drug-orientated and medicalised world of NHS psychiatry. We glimpse a future where psychiatrists and person-centred therapists will collaborate in the healing of persons. Books like this keep the vision alive and serve as beacons in the current darkness." - Brian Thorne, in his Foreword. "Rachel is an excoriatingly honest writer. Brave and unsettling. This is not a book for the faint-hearted. There is no easy framework here to aid your understanding of the medical world and your role in it. The book offers no theoretical asylum from the sneers of those who criticise the person-centred approach for its lack of objectivity. It is a tough philosophy, confident in its assertion of subjective principles and everything that flows from them. It provides no guarantee of success and no insurance against failure. But it is more inspiring than anything I have read for a very long time." - Mike Shooter, in his Foreword.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have book for person-centred practitioners, 1 May 2009
By Mrs. Mary J. Dale (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I think this book is amazing and considers the difficulties of working in a psychiatric setting while being a person-centred therapist, outlining the difficulties in communication between staff and how to marry a person-centred approach with a medical model. A very brave book, written by a psychiatrist who also works in a person-centred way and the inherent difficulties encountered. Very useful for any PC therapists wishing to work within the NHS.
