In this unique text, author Digby Tantam explores the philosophical, political, economical, psychological, medical and spiritual perspectives on well-being through a psychotherapeutic lens, explaining current research data and summarising findings. Theoretical approaches are balanced with an insight into their practical applications, showing therapists how each approach can inform their practice and make a real difference to the life satisfaction and health of their clients.
The book speaks to current issues in mental health from diverse perspectives. The language is simply.
This book provides a thorough insight into different theoretical perspectives of well-being and is also inclusive of relevant research data. Although it is a guide for counsellors and psychotherapists it would also be relevant to other professionals.
support module text / background reading
A good piece of literature to use in the study of psychotherapy and counselling.
Good reference material well laid out in an easy clear and concise manner.
Well recommended
This book can be used for students completing a childhood studies degree and also a mental health degree.
Whilst I would use this as a supplementary text, this book offered an interesting insight into the topic- as a guide there was transferable information to other professions.
This book was more geared towards the health profession and could not be used for counselors within a classroom / school environment. I was expecting practical strategies that could be used to support pastoral guidance counselors in delivering expert care. This did give a good overview of emotional well being.
Very useful and informative book for all training levels.
very comprehensive account, very interesting. However the font size is very small
A very good book for students to read, especially in the subject-matter of cognitive-behavioural therapy
