Synopsis

From the back cover: 'What prepares us to be emotionally, intellectually and spiritfully on the edge of someone's life experience which is different from our own? What prepares us to face contradictions and find a place to rest within them? What prepares us to be constantly watchful for the capturing of radical ideas by conservative institutions? Johnella Bird's questions bring a sigh of relief to the many therapists who have felt uncomfortable with and disconnected from the quick-fix formula counseling, which has pervaded many therapies over the last decade. This book breathes life back into therapy with creative intelligence and a compassionate rigour which enables therapists and clients to investigate and explore the complexities of the day to day 'stuff' of therapy.'
