Excellent- More about The Ethical Visions of Psychotherapy
The standard view of psychotherapy as a treatment for mental disorders can obscure its role as a social practice that promotes human well-being. Smith's book explores the links between therapeutic aims and conceptions of well-being, examining cognitive-behavioral and psychoanalytic therapies and their distinct ethical visions. It is a valuable resource for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduate students, and professionals in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, theoretical psychology, and philosophy of mind.

The conventional perception of psychotherapy as a solely therapeutic intervention for mental disorders can overshadow its role as a social practice that fosters notions of human well-being. Building upon the philosophical framework of Charles Taylor, Smith delves into the intricate relationship between therapy and ethics, as well as the origins of therapeutic goals in modern Western conceptions of a fulfilling life. This book serves as one of two complementary volumes, the other being "Therapeutic Ethics in Context and in Dialogue." Within this volume, Smith explores the interconnectedness between therapeutic aims and conceptions of well-being. He examines various cognitive-behavioral and psychoanalytic therapies to demonstrate how they can be distinguished by their distinct ethical perspectives. Smith contends that given the limited differences observed in research using standard measures of efficacy between these therapies, a comprehensive evaluation of their relative merits must encompass an assessment of their unique ethical visions. This book holds significant value for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduate students, and professionals engaged in the fields of psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, theoretical psychology, and the philosophy of mind. It offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the ethical dimensions of therapeutic practices, providing valuable insights for those seeking to understand and enhance the therapeutic process.
