Description
Why Therapists Choose to Become Therapists: A Practice-Based Enquiry is a thought-provoking exploration of the motivations behind becoming a therapist. First proposed by Sussman, this topic has been revisited in recent years, with Sofie Bager-Charleson and her colleagues seeking to understand whether much has changed since its initial suggestion as a 'neglected' area. Through six personal accounts from counsellors and psychotherapists, each representing a different modality, the book delves into the complexities of this question. The authors also draw on existing literature and survey responses from 238 other therapists to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issue. This inquiry offers valuable insights into the 'therapist's use of self', a key theme in the field. By examining the motivations behind becoming a therapist, this book provides a unique perspective on the profession and its practitioners.
