Description
Understanding Boundaries and Containment in Clinical Practice by Rebecca Brown and Karen Stobart explores the concept of boundaries within the therapeutic experience. A boundary is more than just a physical line, but an entity that demands attention if it's to be negotiated. In this book, the authors examine various aspects of boundaries, including their development in infancy and childhood, the role of the therapist's mind, and the importance of confidentiality. They also discuss the challenges of accessing psychotherapy services, particularly within the National Health Service. By investigating the meaning and purpose of boundaries, Brown and Stobart aim to provide a deeper understanding of the therapeutic container and its significance in clinical practice.
