Description
Dr. Hedges and his co-authors highlight the leading ethical and legal dilemmas in therapy today, the management of malpractice exposure, the nature of memories and recovered memories and the causes of real and perceived abuse, the trauma of psychotic transference and how to acknowledge and deal safely with sexuality, the plight of the accused therapist and his/her response to the attendant stress, and the nightmare of legal claims and suits and the importance of support for the therapist. This book seeks to help clarify the issues, manage the dangers, and restore confidence in the psychotherapy process for clinicians who are experiencing fear, constriction, and loss of satisfaction in their work.
Reviews / Votes
This book clearly offers many interesting and helpful ideas. The authors draw on their experiences, expertise, insights, and opinions to confront a very difficult and time-sensitive subject. The outcome is both generous and valuable. * Contemporary Psychology: The Apa Review Of Books *More details
