Contents:

  • Features
    • Delivering CBT

      • It is conceivable that counsellors could supply a much needed workforce capable of delivering a listening version of CBT – if they first dropped their prejudices about the model

    • Applying evidencebased practice

      • Lord Richard Layard has called for dedicated psychological clinics staffed by an extra 10,000 therapists to provide CBT to those in need – a proposal that has implications for both mental health care and counsellors

    • In defence of dependency

      • Therapists and clients alike have been tainted with the present Western ethos of managing without others – but why this resistance to a human given?

    • Fat: a male issue too

      • After rummaging through papers on eating disorders and disentangling himself from the all-purpose medical model, this is one man’s personal quest to understand the individual male client’s perspective

    • A DIY cure for anorexia

      • The most important thing is to allow clients to have an internal rather than external locus of control

    • Animal bereavement

      • Clients rarely present overtly for ‘pet loss’ but the death will have spread tendrils into the issues they deem more acceptable to bring

    • A ragbag of remnants

      • A final look at some remaining and intriguing data from the Department of Health’s recent counselling and psychotherapy project – including the hot question of whether CBT really has taken over

    • Support for siblings

      • Group work with the siblings of life-limited and terminally ill children has a major impact on their emotional resilience

    • Brothers and sisters in league: what we think

      • BASIL is a group for siblings of life-limited children and young people at Acorns Children’s Hospice in the West Midlands. Here, they offer their own perspective on what helps and what they want us to know

        This article was compiled by: Laura, Aamir, Ryan, Chanelle, Theresa and Penny with quotes and contributions from all the group members.

    • Supervising executive coaches

      • The organisational structure and culture needs to be taken into account when counselling supervisors move into the turbulent waters of company and business systems

    • Cover feature

      • Rather than parading as a specialised discipline, positive therapy offers a way of working where happiness is a goal to head for

  • Regulars
    • Editorial

      • I’ve always been confused by the fact that most counselling and psychotherapy research quotes the relationship as being the main agent of change, and yet CBT – which has the biggest and strongest evidence base – doesn’t place great emphasis on this. Or so I understood until recently.
