Let's Take The Crap Out of Psychotherapy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957255392)

Let's Take the crap out of psychotherapy
Are you receiving effective mental health treatment? Perhaps you've been diagnosed with depression, prescribed medication, had cognitive behavioural treatments and have tools to manage your ongoing symptoms for the rest of your life.

Yildiz asks, how with so much verified neuroscience research, is the mental health system still locked in a time warp of talk therapies that are largely outdated? That still don't include relevant science or current psychotherapy practices in their narrative, towards better mental health outcomes, such as recovery for many?

In this book Yildiz challenges many long held myths and beliefs about depression and the diagnosis of mid-range mental illness's. She explores the role of the pharmaceutical industry in mental health policies and practice and encourages us to question a system, that still believes that we are largely incapable of change, processing disturbances and the possibility of recovery of mental illness for many.
Yildiz focuses on longstanding problems of claims accompanying "psychological evidence-based research" in a 'closed shop' mentality. Where open research of current innovations in mental health treatments and philosophies, that fall outside the medical model and CBT are largely excluded.
Where opportunities to possibly developing new insights into the brain, mind, consciousness and the subconscious appear to be missing. With psychotherapeutic practice and upskilling with an understanding of what goes wrong, or is missing and what may be required to reset or provide healing pathways to better mental health, are absent.
Yildiz introduces several examples of current brief and effective psychotherapies for comparison, in opening the door to new possibilities. New ways of thinking, that may lead to better outcomes for world mental health.

Yildiz builds her ideas on sound current brain, mind, mental illness and trauma research, to show that it doesn't have to be like this.

A must read for counsellors, psychotherapists and mental health workers and for those seeking better mental health.
