Lanham : Jason Aronson, [2014]
Description:
x, 405 pages ; 24 cm
Summary:
"In Philosophy's Role in Counseling and Psychotherapy, Peter B. Raabe argues that philosophically informed methods of therapy are best for treating mental illness. Calling for a paradigm shift away from the standard belief that the brain and mind are identical, Raabe argues that so-called mental illnesses--such as depression and schizophrenia--are not the actual causes of psychological misery. Instear, distressing or painful life events can cause symptoms that are often clinically labeled as mental illness. This suffering can often be alleviated through helpful discussions without resorting to medication. Raabe instead proposes that mental illness be treated with philosophically informed therapy. He ultimately concludes that philosophy is beneficial in three ways: it can prevent the onset of a so-called mental illness in the person who studies it, it can be used to help individuals suffering from the distress that is labeled 'mental illness, ' and it will enhance the competence of the counselor or therapist who practices it."--Publisher's description.
