In this ground-breaking and highly controversial book, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson attacks the very foundations of modern psychotherapy from Freud to Jung, from Fritz Perls to Carl Rodgers. With passion and clarity, Against Therapy addresses the profession's core weaknesses, contending that, since therapy's aim is to change people, and this is achieved according to therapist's own notions and prejudices, the psychological process is necessarily corrupt. With a foreword by the eminent British psychologist Dorothy Rowe, this cogent and convincing book has shattering implications. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

1. Do not assume your clients are delusional or question their reality / gaslight them
2. Do not tell your clients that having sex with you will cure them (10% of psychotherapists in a 1980s survey admitted to sleeping with patients)
3. Do not be a nazi
4. Do not assume you are an expert in being a human being

8. Do not psychologically beat somebody up and call it therapy

It's scary how people who are still being taught as the heroes of psychotherapy (Freud, Jung and Pearls and more) were well and truly despicable. There are reviews complaining that it's not fair to criticise a few therapists and then say the field is broken, but these are the founders of the field and still being taught in training courses and still considered demi-gods. And all of the traps they fell into are still wide open for psychotherapists nowadays. It's a very important book and everyone in training needs to read it.
It's also worth knowing that there are still a lot of power-hungry bullies in psychotherapy and if you meet them and you feel like you are being bullied, you are right. It is them, it is not you. Do not let them gaslight you, find someone you feel you can trust.
We all know power corrupts, people often go into therapy at their most vulnerable, and there are those who will take advantage of that, we need to protect ourselves from that and we need to recognize it in ourselves if it rears its ugly head. (
