Description

Therapists are not immune to the challenges they face in their personal and professional lives. The Myth of the Untroubled Therapist explores the difficulties that clinicians encounter, including personal problems such as divorce, bereavement, and illness, as well as the best ways to cope with them. Featuring interviews from forty different practitioners from various therapeutic approaches, this book sheds light on how therapists manage their personal struggles during difficult times. It also examines the impact of COVID-19 on practitioners and highlights the key elements that may influence a therapist's choice of career. This new edition is updated throughout and includes a new chapter on the pandemic's effect on mental health professionals. Ideal for counsellors, psychotherapists, and social workers, The Myth of the Untroubled Therapist encourages mental health professionals to consider their own wellbeing and take steps to maintain their own mental health.
