The Sociology of Regulation: The Case of Psychotherapy and Counselling and the Experience of the Arts Therapies
Waller, Diane; Guthrie, Michael
British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, v41 n1 p4-13 2013
This article draws on insights from the sociology of professions to explore the regulatory debate in the psychotherapy and counselling field contrasted with the regulation of arts therapists (art, drama and music therapists). A partial explanation is offered, illustrating the applicability of theory to these groups, but with adaptations to reflect the modern context in which professions and regulation now exist. (Contains 2 notes.)
