Counsellors and psychotherapists sometimes find themselves working with people whose emotional distress is rooted in more significant mental health issues. The author considers: what psychotherapists need to know to work safely and ethically; the circumstances in which they might need to refer on; how to interpret available research and guidelines; and where providing a safe space to experience, express and reflect on emotions fits in. The book looks in-depth at a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, stress and bereavement, eating disorders, substance misuse, sexual and identity issues, and personality disorders. It provides guidance on possible therapeutic approaches and interventions and pinpoints ethical and professional issues for consideration. Case examples are included to draw out typical challenges and implications for practice.
