Beschreibung
How do you react when someone starts talking about God. What do you do when you feel you can't agree with a client's beliefs. What is your relationship to uncertainty and the unexplainable. If talking about a client's faith can lead to better outcomes, why can it be so difficult. In this compassionate, engaging, and deeply human book, Kate Graham draws on her extensive experience as a psychotherapist and Quaker to explore these and other dilemmas. Three characters: Mystery, Reason, and Hope guide us through the book, tussling over their differences and frustrations with each other as they search for understanding. Kate draws on her own experience and interviews with other therapists and people of faith. She shares her experiences through largely fictional client stories, brought to life with humour and honesty. We join her in her vulnerability as she navigates complex relationships, illustrating both ideas for good practice and her learning from mistakes. Relationships and connection run through the book: with the natural world, with ourselves, with clients, and with the "wider than human". She celebrates the mystery of psychotherapeutic work, the unexplainable alongside practical ideas that can be integrated into practice straight away. Psychotherapy, like faith, involves exploring inner worlds and facing wildness, uncertainty, and not-knowing. There is more common ground here than our initial training may have revealed. There is practical guidance about the where, when, and how you might ask questions and cope with the answers. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter help the reader develop skills and insight and point to further reading. At a deeper level the reader is challenged to explore their own beliefs and what this can mean for their work in the therapy room and outside. This helps you to consider how you connect your inner world to the outer world, how you might act for love and trust in an increasingly fearful world, and the support you need to do this. Mystery, Hope and Reason: Faith in the Therapy Room. is a book that will engage, uplift, and inspire you.
