The Troubled Mind: A Handbook of Therapeutic Approaches to Psychological Distress (Professional Handbooks in Counselling and Psychotherapy)

This comprehensive textbook discusses how trainees and busy practitioners can best respond therapeutically to clients' mental health problems. Grounded in the latest research, it is rich with case material and analytical commentary and highlights key decisions regarding assessment and referral.

At once sharply structured and broad-based, The Troubled Mind is designed to work both as a textbook for trainees taking courses on assessment, psychopathology/mental health or research evidence for practice, and as a reference tool for qualified professionals looking to deepen their understanding of this complex spectrum of work. By offering a pluralistic framework, it will suit counsellors and therapists across all therapeutic approaches.
