DESCRIPTION

Journeys in Systemic Psychotherapy is about one’s journey as a new worker acquiring knowledge and skills to develop complexities in thinking, reflexivity and the use of the self. The different writers’ contributions demonstrate a process of making connections with theory, practice and research, moving towards a sense of authenticity in working with the personal and professional self of the therapist. What emerges is the experience of learning and growth in process, allowing readers to participate in their experiences vicariously.

“Throughout the book, it is clear that the authors have considered their work from the inside out and the outside in. By paying attention to personal beliefs and experience, they have demonstrated curiosity about the ideas they bring to clinical work; and by introducing research and refining practice, they have shown reflexive abilities that will undoubtedly shape future work across the family therapy field.… This book is a coming of age for the skilled systemic practitioners in Singapore.”
