Selves in Relation (RLE: Group Therapy)An Introduction to Psychotherapy and Groups\nAuthor(s): Keith Oatley\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138795723, 978-1138795723\nSynopsis\nEmotional crises and breakdowns are not things going wrong in individuals minds: they are disturbances in their relations with themselves and others. In psychotherapy an attempt is made to resolve such crises through a therapeutic relationship with an individual or in a group. First published in 1984, this book introduces the theory of individual and group therapy, and explains some of its principles in practice. \n\nAlthough there had been a rapid development of ideas in the area of psychotherapy at the time, it was only recently before original publication of this book that these had been related to theory. Keith Oatley assesses the influence of cognitive social psychology, psychoanalysis and the existential/phenomenological tradition,.
