This comprehensive account of Co-Counselling theory presents valuable insights into subjects including human vulnerability to distress, the societal context of emotional problems and emotional discharge in relation to the healing process.

The theory behind "Co-Counselling" argues 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-Counselling "offers 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.
