Counselling and Psychotherapy with Refugees

Counselling and Psychotherapy with Refugees is clear, well-conceived, and does not overwhelm therapists trying to find their way in this complex field. Dick Blackwell, a psycho-dynamic psychoterapist and supervisor, has a wealth of experience gained through working with the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture and Organised Violence. His book provides therapists across modalities with an accessible framework as it concisely raises issues for us to reflect on while adapting our own way of working with such clients. – Transactional Analysis Journal
