Description

Cognitive Analytic Therapy and the Politics of Mental Health explores how therapists consider their work in light of contemporary politics. This book examines the impact of evolving attitudes on mental health services, including those who have been marginalized and neglected. The authors consider how responsibility for mental illness is devolved onto those suffering distress, as well as the ways in which clients' political views influence therapy. Contributions from practitioners working in various fields provide a comprehensive understanding of the politics of mental health. This book offers a fresh perspective on the contemporary politics of mental health, making it an important resource for therapists and mental health professionals.
