'Prejudice is, for good or ill, a part of our nature. It is
instilled in us from birth onwards. All we can hope to do is to
combat it, and the first tool in our armoury must be that of
awareness. Without this, it is very difficult, perhaps impossible,
for the psychotherapist or counsellor to explore how it might be
influencing the psychotherapy relationship.
Sue Marshall has, in this book, performed a valuable task in
that direction, and has done in it very cogently in a most
difficult area. I applaud her' -" Joe Sinclair, Nurturing
Potential

Difference, prejudice and discrimination are issues which all
counsellors and psychotherapists need to address as part of their
personal and professional development. Designed to support training
on these complex issues, Difference & Discrimination in
Counselling & Psychotherapy helps therapists understand the
experience of discrimination, as well as explore their own - often
unconscious - attitudes to others, based on gender, sexuality,
race, culture or mental health.
For most therapists an attitude of acceptance and
non-judgmentalism is fundamental to their view of practice.
However, in seeking to be non-judgmental, therapists may run the
risk of concealing their own prejudices. It is only by facing up to
these attitudes and exploring them that therapists are able to
fully relate to their clients and help them effectively.
Synthesising sociological knowledge with her experience of a
practitioner, Sue Marshall powerfully demonstrates both the
importance and the practicalities of developing awareness about
difference.
Difference & Discrimination in Counselling &
Psychotherapy offers a straightforward approach to some of the most
difficult issues relating to practice, making it an ideal text for
use in training and for qualified therapists continuing their
professional development.
