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.
In this innovative book, theorists and researchers from various
social science disciplines explore the potential of realist social
theory for empirical research. The examples are drawn from a wide
range of fields health and medicine, crime, housing,
sociolinguistics, development theory and deal with issues such as
causality, probability, and reflexivity in social science. Varied
and lively contributions relate central methodological issues to
detailed accounts of research projects which adopt a realist
framework. Making Realism Work provides an accessible discussion of
a significant current in contemporary social science and will be of
interest to social theorists and social researchers alike.

This text addresses the interface of sociology and psychology
which, it argues, is the key to political change. Offering a
comparison of a range of psychotherapeutic theories of human
nature, including those of Freud and Anna Freud, Klein and
Kleininans and Lacan, humanisticpsychology, and feminist,
trans-cultural and other radical psychotherapies, the book focuses
on each theory's psychological concept of health and its political
implications.
