Feminist Counselling in Action

<p><i></p> <p>Praise for the<b> First Edition</b>:</p> <p><b></p> <p></b></i>`One of the best, and clearest, descriptions of the significance of the imposition of "masculine" patterns of thought on a culture... a lucid and non-jargon-fraught account of the strands of thought which make up the feminist approach to and adaptation of psychotherapy′ - <b><i>The Guardian</p> <p></b></i></p> <p>For counsellors, therapists, trainees and others who want a deeper understanding of how society affects them psychologically, the revised and updated edition of <b>Feminist Counselling in Action </b>is the ideal resource. Drawing on feminist theory, Jocelyn Chaplin points to the deeply entrenched, hierarchical ways of thinking which permeate every level of our lives.</p> <p></p> <p>The author presents an alternative rhythm model that when applied in counselling increases self-confidence, `wholeness′ and improved relationships. In this model, the counsellor is not seen as the expert or the doctor, and the client is not a patient. They are two equal but different people using `clues′ to understand and improve the life of the client. To illustrate, the author includes vivid case examples throughout.
