The Seven Deadly Sins: Issues in Clinical Practice and Supervision for Humanistic and Integrative Practitioners

The Seven Deadly Sins: Issues in Clinical Practice and Supervision for Humanistic and Integrative Practitioners

by Anne Kearns (Author)

Synopsis

The Seven Deadly Sins? grew out of a post-qualification training course of the same name. It aims to make more accessible some concepts from the world of psychoanalysis, self-psychology and affective neuroscience, as well as commenting on the challenge of working in the real world . This is achieved by offering an integrative and anecdotal perspective on issues that have been generally un- or under-explored in trainings that have a humanistic emphasis, issues such as envy, shame, love and hate, trauma, addiction, money, and eating disorders. These issues are illustrated through the judicious use of clinical case studies. Various maps are provided to assist the supervisor and clinician in holding opposing diagnostic models and in working with psychotherapy and counselling trainees.

Media Reviews
'In the literature and culture of psychotherapy there is a big divide, often to the point of antipathy, between humanistic and psychodynamic approaches. Anne Kearns is most unusual in having trained and supervised at a senior level in several of the schools and has threaded her way among them, discovering similarities and continuities, clarifying real and apparent differences and somehow keeping her head and - most notably - her sense of humour. She writes engagingly and is a reliable and commonsensical guide. One often hears of the therapist in the mind . In this book one meets a supervisor in the mind - supportive, containing, encouraging and moderating.'- Robert Maxwell Young, Professor Emeritus of Psychotherapy, University of Sheffield
