The Invisible Presence in Therapy: Organizational Context and Its Influence on Therapeutic Process

摘要

While two people, the social worker and client, might physically sit in therapy there can be invisible presences that influence the therapeutic process. Psychoanalytic relational theory and the concept of the a??analytic thirda?? will be used in case discussion to examine the presence of the organization, the social worker's and client's relationship to the organization, and conflicts that exist. Understanding agency context, the role social workers play and pressures they feel can support therapists to be mindful practitioners. Implications for social work practice and education will be discussed.View full textDownload full textKeywordspsychoanalytic relational theory, therapeutic process, social work practice, agency contextRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15332985.2010.494520
