This work demonstrates the link between individual, clinical work and its wider social significance, and shows how society's problems inevitably find their way into the private "confessions" of counselling clients. The contributors reflect on: what counsellors witness of the human condition, its perennial suffering, pain and confusion; the implications for the counsellor's views on human resilience and irrationality; what socio-political conclusions counsellors draw from what they hear in counselling sessions; what inferences counsellors make about the spiritual needs of strengths of their clients; and what lessons for education and prevention counsellors can pass on from their experience.
Colin Feltham is series editor of Professional Skills for Counsellors and Short Introductions to the Therapy Professions series, co-editor of SAGE Handbook of Counselling and Psychotherapy and author of several SAGE texts, including What is Counselling?
