The theory behind Co-Counselling argues that emotional expression
should be welcomed and that human beings can help each other
recover from past distress by taking turns giving and receiving
attention. Benefits of the method include the acceleration of
personal growth and the reduction of the stresses inherent in the
practitioner's role.
This accessible book offers a serious challenge to much of what is
currently considered good practice in mental health services, and
succeeds in developing a dialogue between co-counselling and other
therapeutic approaches. It provides a thorough introduction to the
method, incorporating recent developments in the field and
providing a comprehensive account of both the theory and practice.
The reader also benefits from inclusion of clinical material
outlining the experiences of people from a range of backgrounds
offering evidence of the value of Co-Counselling.
Co-Counselling offers a model that has many implications for anyone
struggling with emotional problems, particularly those recovering
from discrimination, prejudice and oppression. Counsellors and
psychotherapists will find this book to be an invaluable resource
which both challenges and stimulates.
