FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description What gets in the way of our understanding other people? So asks psychologist Brian Levitt in this challenging and reflective book questioning much that is taken for granted in his profession. Levitt argues that we must keep questioning our training and beliefs if we are to see people better. Here, he deconstructs the foundational concepts of psychology and, drawing on his 25 years as a person-centred practitioner in a range of settings, helps us to look at them with fresh eyes. His book offers both young and more seasoned psychologists a refreshing alternative to conventional clinical texts with its message to look beyond theory and control and respect the complexity of the people we meet in our work. Author Biography Brian Levitt is a registered clinical and rehabilitation psychologist and a partner with Kaplan and Levitt Psychologists in Hamilton, Ontario. He works with people who have experienced trauma and loss, many of whom are also struggling with chronic pain. He both trained and later worked at the Chicago Counseling and Psychotherapy Center, which grew from Carl Rogers work at the University of Chicago. Person-centered theory and applications are an abiding passion, and he has explored these in all aspects of his work across a wide variety of settings. Brian has edited two other books with PCCS Books, Embracing Non-Directivity (2005) and Reflections on Human Potential (2008).
