What therapists don't talk about and why understanding taboos that hurt us and our clients

Synopsis

"This book focuses on taboos and uncomfortable topics that therapists and therapists-in-training often avoid and the damaging myths underlying this avoidance. Providing opportunities for individuals, courses, and workshops to engage the topics directly, the book avoids imposing "right" answers and clinging to traditional "politically correct," or "psychologically correct" approaches. The book's model of learning encourages a mindful awareness of how we respond to the complex, messy situations that occur in real life and emphasizes the need for openness, honesty, courage, and constant questioning."--BOOK JACKET.
