Shouldn't I Be Feeling Better By Now? Summary

Shouldn't I Be Feeling Better By Now?: Client Views Of Therapy by Yvonne Bates

Around one in four clients of counselling and therapy either deteriorate in treatment or show no signs of recovery. Why does therapy fail this significant proportion of vulnerable people and what can be done about it? This ground-breaking volume assembles the first ever collection of client critiques of therapy as a way of kick-starting an urgently needed debate. Including contributions from a range of internationally respected therapists, the book identifies areas of concern and seeks to provide constructive solutions for the future.
Nominated for the Mind Book of the Year Award 2006

Shouldn't I Be Feeling Better By Now? Reviews

'Anyone involved with the training of therapists needs to read this book.' - John Rowan, BACPNL Magazine 'Shouldn't I be feeling better by now? is a timely and important publication...thought provoking and inspirational, and should trigger an overdue debate around the question: What happens when the therapy doesn't work? Pat Coleman, Health Matters 'I would thoroughly recommend this book to others who are interested in therapy...I found reading it prompted me to reflect on issues that I had not really thought about before, and led me to question some of my own beliefs about therapy.' - Robert Farrelly, Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy
