Beschreibung

Seminars by Professor Windy Dryden. See the man live and in action. To find out more and to book your place go to www.cityminds.com ________________________________________ Many counselling and psychotherapy researchers are suspicious of the pronouncements of practitioners because they are not backed up by research. Similarly, practitioners tend to ignore research findings because they consider that they have little relevance to their clinical practice. This book bridges the gap that currently exists between research and practice in counselling and psychotherapy by providing detailed clinical examples of the practical relevance of research. It brings together contributions from leading British and American psychotherapy researchers, who describe their research programmes and explore how their findings can substantially inform therapeutic practice. The book calls for the close integration of research, skills training and supervised clinical practice on training courses.

Rezensionen

`In presenting the work of several significant contributors... [this book] outlines how a variety of researchers have approached a complicated phenomenon so that valid and general findings can be obtained... If you are interested in carrying out research yourself, there is a lot to learn here... This book is an excellent overview' - The British Journal of Psychiatry `A wide variety of topics [is] on offer in this well-produced volume. Reading on research needs to be a high priority in a clinician's professional life; unfortunately, this practice has been dwindling, mainly - in the reviewer's view - due to poor training programmes. This needs to be remedied, and books such as this will contribute to the process' - Behaviour Research and

Therapy `Dryden has brought together a substantial collection of experts involved in research... There is much to explore in this book, as, for example, in a chapter on cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic therapies which looks in detail at the therapeutic strategies used in these approaches before trying to draw out practical applications of the research... there is much of interest and relevance... it is a book readers may find they can dip into time and again, taking in a little more on each occasion. If this is the future for books on counselling and psychological therapies, then research might at last play a real part in guiding day-to-day practice' - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling `This book should have a place on the shelves of every academic library, to be used as a reference by those who are pursuing research themselves or who want to consult research literature on their preferred model of therapy' - British Journal of Guidance and Counselling `This is a book with much to offer to practitioner and researcher alike... which should certainly be on the shelves of every university library' - [ac]Eisteach, The Journal of the Irish Association for Counselling and Therapy `A very interesting book... Its aim is to bridge the gap between researcher and practitioner... recommended' - Self & Society
