Psychotherapy and Society - David Pilgrim

Psychotherapy and Society examines the shared theoretical roots of the traditions of psychotherapy and social science and the application of wider sociological work to mental health. After discussing the points of convergence and divergence between psychotherapy and sociology, David Pilgrim concentrates on issues surrounding gender, class, race, age and professionalism. He also looks at: the different contexts of therapy; the professionalization of psychotherapy; and clients' experiences of psychotherapy
