Explores the links between therapy and the political world, and their contribution to each other. This collection covers topics such as psychotherapy in the political sphere, including the roots of conflict, social trauma, and ecopsychology and political dimensions of psychotherapy practice, such as discrimination, power, and sexuality.
This unique collection by leading authors explores the links between therapy and the political world, and their contribution to each other. Topics covered include:
  • Psychotherapy in the political sphere, including the roots of conflict, social trauma, and ecopsychology
  • Political dimensions of psychotherapy practice, such as discrimination, power, sexuality, and postcolonial issues
  • Psychotherapy, the state and institutions, including the law and ethics, and psychotherapy in healthcare
  • Working at the interface, examples of therapy in political action from Croatia, the USA, the UK and Israel/Palestine
How to ‘place’ political issues in therapy is highly controversial – for example, whether political themes should be interpreted psychologically in the consulting room, or respected as valid in their own right: similar issues arise for the role of therapeutic insights in political reality. This book provides a map through these complex and demanding areas for therapists and counsellors in training, as well as for experienced practitioners or other interested readers.

Contributors: Lane Arye, Arlene Audergon, Emanuel Berman, Sandra Bloom, Jocelyn Chaplin, Petruska Clarkson, Chess Denman, Dawn Freshwater, Kate Gentile, John Lees, Renos Papadopoulos, Hilary Prentice, Mary-Jayne Rust, Judy Ryde, Andrew Samuels, Nick Totton.
