He considers how contemporary practice of psychotherapy often fails to admit to the critical difference, fails to recognize it in practice, and subsequently treats patients for irrelevancies while neglecting core, essential issues. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKeen addressed his concern about the prevalent practices among psychological\/medical practitioners vis-a-vis the prescriptive drug control of mental problems in earlier publications. In this work, including a therapy case study, Keen's position-an important one warranting wide attention in the medical and helping professions-stresses that pharmacotherapy threatens our access, and openness to ultimate issues. For professionals and scholars in medicine, public health, clinical psychology, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernest Keen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275969819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275969813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.72h x 6.18w x 0.70d","brand":"Ernest Keen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086459089151,"sku":"9780275969813","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_414ad281-e476-421c-ad03-1b7143369714.jpg?v=1769094798","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ultimacy-and-triviality-in-psychotherapy-ernest-keen-9780275969813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
