About this title

Synopsis

Dr. Hedges and his co-authors highlight the leading ethical and legal dilemmas in therapy today, the management of malpractice exposure, the nature of memories and recovered memories and the causes of real and perceived abuse, the trauma of psychotic transference and how to acknowledge and deal safely with sexuality, the plight of the accused therapist and his/her response to the attendant stress, and the nightmare of legal claims and suits and the importance of support for the therapist. This book seeks to help clarify the issues, manage the dangers, and restore confidence in the psychotherapy process for clinicians who are experiencing fear, constriction, and loss of satisfaction in their work.
