For psychotherapists and counsellors in training some of the practices
associated with the therapeutic relationship can be mystifying – and none
more so than the concept of the therapeutic frame. In An Introduction to
the Therapeutic Frame, Anne Gray clarifies the concept for the student
and shows how the frame – the way of working set out in the first meeting
between therapist and client – contains and protects the therapeutic rela-
tionship.
The author argues that careful attention to detail, from first contact
through to the ending of the relationship, can make case management
within the frame more effective for both client and therapist. Each chapter
is devoted to particular aspects of management which the trainee often
finds difficult, such as first meetings, letters and telephone calls, money
matters, and ending and evaluation. Anne Gray has practical advice on
how to handle these situations, supported throughout with well-chosen
case material. She brings the scene alive for the reader and also shows
clearly how the underlying theory can work in practice.
Anne Gray is a psychotherapist in private practice and a lecturer at the
University of Hertfordshire.
