The Talking Cure: Wittgenstein's Therapeutic Method for Psychotherapy

by John Heaton

Book Overview

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.
