People Not Pathology

'This brilliant book is a vital resource for the increasing number of therapists concerned by the growing medicalisation of counselling and psychotherapy. It should be compulsory reading for all therapy trainees and practitioners. What a timely and vital intervention.' James Davies, Associate Professor of Psychology and Medical Anthropology, University of Roehampton; '... a coherent and powerful narrative for the philosophy of therapy as a social, psychological and community activity. It will help to inform thinking and debate for years to come.' Professor Andrew Reeves, Professor in Counselling Professions and Mental Health, University of Chester; '... a testament to its editors' tireless work to challenge injustice in this world; a breath of fresh air'. Professor Emmy van Deurzen, Principal, New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling; '... a must-read not only for students, professionals and service providers but also anyone contemplating entering the mental health profession.' Mamood Ahmad, psychotherapist and founder of The Anti-Discrimination Focus.
