Description: Working at Relational Depth in Counselling and Psychotherapy by Dave Mearns, Mick Cooper Looking in depth at the therapeutic meeting between therapist and client, this now includes an updated preface, new content on recent research and new developments and debates around relational depth, and new case studies. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Eagerly awaited by many counsellors and psychotherapists, this new edition includes an updated preface, new content on recent research and new developments and debates around relational depth, and new case studies. This groundbreaking text goes to the very heart of the therapeutic meeting between therapist and client. Focusing on the concept of relational depth, the authors describe a form of encounter in which therapist and client experience profound feelings of contact and engagement with each other, and in which the client has an opportunity to explore whatever is experienced as most fundamental to her or his existence. The book has helped thousands of trainees and practitioners understand how to facilitate a relationally-deep encounter, identify the personal blocks that may be encountered along the way, and consider new therapeutic concepts - such as holistic listening - that help them to meet their clients at this level. This classic text remains a source of fresh thinking and stimulating ideas about the therapeutic encounter which is relevant to trainees and practitioners of all orientations.

Entirely updated, refreshed and contemporary in its approach this is, once again, a tour de force in the literature; a further critical development in our understanding of the relationship in counselling and psychotherapy. -- Dr Andrew ReevesWorking at Relational Depth in Counselling and Psychotherapy 2nd Edition, co-authored by Mick Cooper and Dave Mearns, is a wonderful book which should be on every counsellors and counsellor training courses reading list. -- Moira BishopThis book reminds us that therapy is both an art and a science. The struggle to find words to describe moments of deep healing between two people is balanced by an absorbing look at the neuroscience, developmental psychology and evidence that underpin relational depth. This is both poetry and prose which speak across the different modalities to all therapists who care about their clients. -- Fiona Ballantine Dykes, Intergrative Therapist and Head of Professional Standards BACPThe illustrative examples, client accounts and research meshed together into an enjoyable, informative and thought provoking read. It enabled me to realize that, fundamentally, working at relational depth means two human-beings allowing themselves to be seen exactly as they are. Human. With flaws and fears and needs and desires. -- Heather Rimmer Review Quote Working at Relational Depth in Counselling and Psychotherapy2ndEdition, co-authored by Mick Cooper and Dave Mearns, is a wonderful book which should be on every counsellors and counsellor training courses reading list.
