Theoretical incoherence -- pt. 2. Ultimacy and triviality. 330 8 $aKeen, a professor and practicing psychotherapist, addresses the essential distinction between the truly serious questions involved in human life and the superficial aspects so generally engaging people's concern-and often professional treatment-which he terms, triviality. He considers how contemporary practice of psychotherapy often fails to admit to the critical difference, fails to recognize it in practice, and subsequently treats patients for irrelevancies while neglecting core, essential issues. Keen addressed his concern about the prevalent practices among psychological/medical practitioners vis-a-vis the prescriptive drug control of mental problems in earlier publications. In this work, including a therapy case study, Keen's position-an important one warranting wide attention in the medical and helping professions-stresses that pharmacotherapy threatens our access, and openness to ultimate issues. For professionals and scholars in medicine, public health, clinical psychology, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists. 606 $aPsychotherapy$xPhilosophy 606 $aPsychiatry$xPhilosophy 606 $aMental illness$xChemotherapy$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aConduct of life 615 0$aPsychotherapy$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPsychiatry$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMental illness$xChemotherapy$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aConduct of life. 676 $a616.89/14/01 700 $aKeen$b Ernest$f1937-$01796776 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957858303321 996 $aUltimacy and triviality in psychotherapy$94341838 997 $aUNINA
