Psychological Investigations: A Clinician's Guide to Social Therapy

Lois Holzman, Rafael Mendez, "Psychological Investigations: A Clinician's Guide to Social Therapy"
English | 2003 | ISBN: 0415944058 | PDF | pages: 229 | 1.3 mb

"Psychological Investigations" lets readers listen in on one of the most exciting developments in psychology today as it is unfolding. With the current trend in therapy reflecting a movement away from traditional psychology and towards more postmodern psychologies, social therapy, a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Fred Newman, emerges as a qualitatively new way of doing therapy. Social therapy blends philosophy, the arts, and political concerns into a group approach that focuses on improved social functioning.
"Psychological" "Investigations" provides insight into the revolutionary development of social therapy–an improvisational, investigatory, development-focused method of treatment. Featuring dialogues drawn from transcripts of teaching and supervisory sessions between Newman and therapists, the book presents a comprehensive guide to the core philosophical and political issues of social therapy and the social therapeutic group process. Instead of introspection and insight–traditional means to self-realization–Newman and social therapy encourages activity, involvement and commitment to causes larger than the individual ego.
