From the Meaning of Madness to the Madness of Meaning:  A History of Ideas in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

 

Abstract.

At the heart of all theories of counselling and psychotherapy is the belief that a conversation between the client and the therapist may in some way relieve the client’s subjective distress.  Different therapeutic movements have tried to account for the therapeutic character of conversation, and have developed theories to help structure the complex social situation of therapist-client talk.  The three main approaches to therapy, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, and humanistic, all developed at different times and within different social and organisational contexts throughout the twentieth century.  My aim in this paper is to follow the history of the main ideas in therapy, and to link these with the development of the social arrangements for therapeutic practice, training and accreditation.
