Description for The Talking Cure: Wittgenstein´s Therapeutic Method for Psychotherapy
Paperback. This book, now in paperback, uses Wittgenstein's thought to show how language functions, offering a radically different understanding of Freud's 'talking cure' by engaging with the problems of language itself. Heaton argues that this is highly relevant to understanding psychotherapy. Num Pages: 243 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPM; JMA; JMB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 211 x 159 x 14. Weight in Grams: 312.
In the last 15 years there has been a change in direction in our understanding of Wittgenstein; the 'resolute' reading of him places great emphasis on his therapeutic intent and argues that the aim of Wittgenstein's thought is to show how language functions. This book argues that this is highly relevant to understanding psychotherapy.
