Sage Publications Ltd Working at Relational Depth in Counselling and
Book SynopsisEagerly 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 rTrade ReviewOnly occasionally do books change the very way we think about practice and introduce concepts that have the power to redefine some of our work, the first edition of Working at Relational Depth did just that, and this second edition takes us several steps further. 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 counsellor’s and counsellor training course’s 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.

Book SynopsisWhat is a therapeutic alliance? How do I create a bond? What might lead to the alliance breaking down? What do I do when the relationship feels stuck? These are just some of the questions addressed in this important new book for trainee and qualified therapists wanting to understand, engage in and make the most of the therapeutic relationship. Taking you through each stage of the therapeutic process, from initial boundary setting to effective endings, the book considers a number of different settings and client groups such as working in an online environment and with children and young people. Structured around Frequently Asked Questions', an accessible and engaging narrative guides you though the skills and considerations for an effective therapeutic relationship, as well as the potential challenges it might face. Bringing to the forefront the mutuality of the relationship and the client as a proactive agent, this book will equip you wiTrade ReviewThe book explores different aspects of the therapeutic relationship in a very clear and accessible style which will be helpful to trainee and newly qualified therapists working from a range of approaches. Part of the authors stated aims is ‘to address some of the most commonly asked questions around the therapeutic relationship’ and it was interesting for me to note at the start of a new academic year just how many of these questions were being explored during skills training, theoretical discussions and group supervision. Each chapter is supported with helpful examples from practice as well as research evidence and I particularly liked the way the reader is invited to consider the discussion further through ‘personal reflection’ and the ‘ideas for research’ sections. I appreciated the inclusion of dedicated chapters for working with children and young people and telephone and online counselling. -- Lucy MachinAt last – answers to a multitude of questions on the complexities of the therapeutic relationship. This is a gem of a book containing everything you need to know from ethical dilemmas in practice to the online and telephone relationship. Grounded in research and drawing on the authors’ experiences, easy to read and a valuable resource for trainees and experienced practitioners. A very welcome book. -- Carole SmithThe Therapeutic Relationship in Counselling and Psychotherapy by Rosanne Knox and Mick Cooper is a short and easily digestible guide which helps to create a bond between counsellor and client, whatever approach they are using. This book is especially useful for people at the start of their counselling journey, because it fully explores the elements of how to build a boundaried, but compassionate space where fruitful work can commence at a deep level...The book is clear and easy to navigate which enables a reader to quickly find the part that interests them. It also provides an important space to identify your own feelings, because each chapter ends with a passage supporting you, as the reader, to personally reflect on what you have read and how the ideas put forward might fit within your own approach. This book is invaluable for anyone starting to train as a counsellor, but also fantastic for practising counsellors who want to consolidate and re-visiting their thinking, as well as extending their understanding. -- Lisa HayterThis invaluable little book punches above its 156 page weight, delivering common-sense advice and insight into that most revered aspect of the therapeutic encounter: the relationship between a counsellor and client...The book′s strength lies in its ability to make a complex subject understandable, without dumbing down. I particularly liked each chapter′s ′personal reflection′, which invites the reader to think more deeply about some of the ideas raised. The quality of the counselling relationship is often the key to helping clients explore, change and grow. This is a book that can accompany that journey, providing a warm, knowledgeable voice to allay our fears, correct our misperceptions and encourage us to believe in ourselves. I have no doubt it will find its way onto many reading lists. -- Sharon Breen, counsellor, group facilitator and writerTable of ContentsPreface Boundaries and the therapeutic frame Collaboration Empathic understanding and listening Care and warmth Being real Relating at depth Therapeutic relationships with children and young people Telephone and online counselling relationships Conclusion
