Dilemmas forms a collection of interviews with leading British and American therapists to examine issues of uncertainty that have arisen during the course of their work. Using a conversational model, the therapists are questioned and probed about their own dilemmas, past and present. The book focuses closely on the many similar dilemmas that face experienced therapists as they conduct their work. In all, six main dilemma themes emerged from these interviews. These are termed compromise dilemmas, boundary dilemmas, dilemmas of allegiance, role dilemmas, dilemmas of responsibility, and impasse dilemmas. Discussion issues arising out of the dialogues are put forward at the end of each interview to encourage the reader to explore further the issues that surfaced during the course of the dialogue. Therapists?? Dilemmas fills an important gap in the psychotherapy literature, which often neglects issues of doubt and dilemma and as such will be of interest to anyone involved in working therapeutically with people. |
