Download or read book The Muse as Therapist written by Heward Wilkinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been a cautious movement towards seeing psychotherapy and counselling as arts not as sciences. In this rich, yet rigorous, multidisciplinary text, this movement is explored in terms of poetry; therapy; dreams; literary texts; Heideggerian, Kantian, and post-modern philosophy; the modern developmental theorising of Daniel Stern; and the politics of psychotherapy regulation. This path-breaking book offers a grounded challenge to reductive visions of the therapy process.
