Proctor, Gillian
The dynamics of power in counselling and psychotherapy: Ethics, politics and practice - 2nd ed. - United Kingdom -- PCCS Books -- 2017 - vii, 208p.
*Why does power in counselling matter?
*Isn't therapy always dangerous and abusive?
*What is power? Structural theories
*How does power work? Post-structural theories
*Cognitive Behaviour Therapy: the obscuring of power in the name of science
*Person-Centred Therapy: equality in the therapy relationship?
*The Psychodynamic Approach: isn't the power all in the transference?
*Conclusions: so what can we do about power?
Given that people who are distressed often choose to go for help in therapy, it is therapists' duty and responsibility to deconstruct practices and to be clear about the ethics, values and effects of the practices they use. This book is based on the values and ethics of justice and responsibility, to resist domination and totalising discourses.
