Helping professionals tend not to talk about loving their clients
or students. Instead they use terms such as unconditional positive
regard or empathy. This book presents a study of personal growth
experiences during psychotherapy training. These journeys were
described as tumultuous, yet transformative, in nature, and
paralleled the psychotherapy process itself. The words of the
graduates echoed those of Kahil Gibran writing about love. Poets,
spiritual writers and ordinary folk speak freely of love, yet
psychotherapists are much more constrained. This book explores
journeys of self-development, the nature of love, and the
alchemical force of love in facilitating personal growth. Set in
Aotearoa/New Zealand the study brings a bicultural perspective to
psychotherapy training. Stories told by local psychotherapy
graduates are set alongside the voices of psychotherapy trainers
from around the world. In the conclusion there are suggestions as
to why psychotherapists and psychotherapy trainers shy away from
directly naming the complex phenomenon we call love, and why we
should start a challenging dialogue where we face head on the
central place of love in our work.
