Wittgenstein and Psychotherapy [electronic resource] : From Paradox to Wonder /
Heaton, J.author.
Using the work of Wittgenstein, John Heaton challenges the notion of theoretical expertise on the mind, arguing for a new understanding of therapy as an attempt by patients to express themselves in an effort to see and say what has not been said or seen, and accept that the world is not as fixed as they are constituting it.
