`Anthony Crouch examines the internal and subjective reality of
being a counsellor. Using a series of vignettes, rather than case
studies, Crouch builds in all participant perspectives, counsellor,
client and supervisor... [the book] proves to be eminently
readable, like a good novel. And like a good novel, as opposed to
merely a "good read", it takes the reader into the world of its
characters so that we might understand them. From the outset,
Crouch asserts that the effective counsellor is one who can enter
the intimate subjectivity of the client and use that reality as a
catalyst for change and growth. By the same token the counsellor
should grow through that interaction. The book also contains a
series of challenging personal development exercises which the
author invites the reader to undertake' - Counselling and
Psychotherapy, The Journal of the British Association for
Counselling and Psychotherapy This innovative and creative book
explores the experience of becoming and being a counsellor, and
engaging in the therapeutic process. The book enters the internal,
subjective world of counselling through its characters: students,
counsellors, clients, supervisors and the author himself. It weaves
together their perspectives and uses `talk' as its main medium -
the talk of counselling and supervision sessions, training groups,
workshops and students' journals. In so doing, the book breaks away
from traditional methods and conventions to present complex
theories, difficult concepts and serious information in an
engaging, focused and manageable way. The book encourages readers
to think subjectively, to question theories that come solely from
outside, and to stay with and use their internal world as the main
focus of counselling work. It also provides personal development
exercises to help readers access long-forgotten feelings.
