Cognitive therapy and social power

&
Pages 216-222 | Published online: 18 Aug 2006
 

This paper addresses the capacity of cognitive therapy to engage with issues of social power. Some indicators of ‘power-sensitised counselling’ are proposed and these are discussed with reference to cognitive therapy. ‘Power-sensitised counselling’ for the purposes of this paper is described as counselling that takes account of power differentials, both across society and within the counselling room. The paper opens a discussion about the potential developments of cognitive therapy that could facilitate an engagement with issues of social power. The significance of these issues for research into cognitive therapy is discussed.
