"Therapy: the basics is an introductory book to psychotherapy and its different theoretical approaches. It attempts to demystify and de-stigmatise therapy by answering some common questions posed by prospective clients. This is a book for anyone interested in psychotherapy. Join sissy in this celebration of her recently published book Therapy: the basics and hear from some new and established voices in the therapy field, describing their unique approaches and take on the book. The evening will consist of 10min talks and/or readings from the book with the themes of black feminisms in psychotherapy, what integration of theories means, the transpersonal and the relational, embodied theories and kinetic theories, reconnecting with the radical roots of the person-centred approach, the concept and value of care and more. Some confirmed speakers are: Roz Carroll, Jamie Crabb, Paul Christelis, Rachael Cowie, Karmela Jones, Suzanne Keys, Erika Mansnerus, Lynne Segal, Spiros Philippas - more tbc!"
In Therapy: The Basics sissy lykou offers an introductory book to therapy that has been missing in terms of language, accessibility and inclusion of approaches not highlighted enough in psychotherapy literature. Uniquely beginning with the roots of psychotherapy in traditional and Indigenous healing methods and mapping the most popular approaches from psychoanalysis and cognitive behaviour therapy to embodied and creative therapies. The book acknowledges criticisms of current approaches, their neo-liberal heteronormative Eurocentric perspective, and considers where therapy stands in today’s globalised world.
