Mental Health in Counselling and Psychotherapy



February 2011 | 208 pages | Learning Matters
This book examines how counsellors and psychotherapists interact with those clients who may suffer from mental health issues. While practising counsellors and psychotherapists meet clients who have problems across the entire mental health spectrum, there are a number of particular disorders that these practitioners are particularly likely to encounter. These include anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, phobias and behavioural problems. In this book, all of these conditions are explained and the ways in which therapists can best help such clients are discussed. There are sections on client assessments as well as addiction issues and understanding mental health law.

This is a great book exploring mental health. It has relevant statistics on mental health issues. this will compliment learners studying counselling and mental health. Although it is much more geered to intergrative and CBT counselling rather than Person Centred.It quotes the DSMIV and this is good although the DSM has now been revised to the fifth edition information can still be used.

This will be a useful recourse for students to look at the connections with Mental Health and talking therapies. If only to explore how counselling sits within this relationship.

With BACP new standards for training courses this book is essential as it covers a comprehensive range of issues surrounding mental health and drugs (prescription and recreational). Chapters are set out clearly and the activities are useful as discussion points.
