The theory behindCo-Counsellingargues 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. 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 incorporates recent developments in the field and provides a comprehensive account of co-counseling theory. Co-Counsellingoffers a model that has many implications for anyone struggling with emotional problems, particularly those recovering from discrimination, prejudice and oppression. It will be of great interest to counsellors and psychotherapists.
