Young men trying to resolve traumatic experiences and relationship
issues with their mothers is not an area that has attracted a great
deal of attention, and yet it is not uncommon. Peter is 28, still
living at home and feeling 'like I just don't have a life I can
call my own.' As he tries to remedy this, the reaction he gets is
""So, where have you been?"; "What time do you call this?"; "I've
been worrying about you" ;"You said you'd be back before now." Any
pleasure from his evening melts away and he wonders why on earth is
he still in the same house as her. This book uses fictitious
dialogue to enable readers to experience the struggle of a young
man trying to break free from the damaging and dominating influence
of his mother. It contains both counselling sessions and
supervision sessions, inviting the reader to step into the
therapeutic process and experience Peter (the client) as he
struggles to create a life for himself, Michael (his counsellor)
seeking to offer and maintain the therapeutic conditions of
congruence, empathy and unconditional positive regard, and Suzy
(Michael's supervisor). Practical advice, reflections on the
counselling process, helpful summaries and points for discussion
are highlighted throughout. Counsellors, trainees, supervisors and
other health and social care professionals dealing with
relationships will find this book valuable reading. Men who have
encountered difficult relationships with their mothers are also
likely to gain greater insight and find support through reading
this book.
