Working at Relational Depth in Counselling and Psychotherapy

"It is refreshing to come across Dave Mearns and Mick Cooper's latest book Working at Relational Depth in Counselling and Psychotherapy which stands in marked contrast to the Erskine manual Beyond Empathy.

From the start, it is clear that the authors are present in their work as human beings who are sharing their insight, and sometimes their uncertainty, with us. Their brief is to inform us rather than to sell us something.

I find it encouraging to hear that, even in the context of bodies such as the NHS, relational work is being recognised as having a role to play in the wider world of healing.

I would recommend this book to trainees, experienced therapists and especially to those involved in training."
