Counselling and Spiritual Accompaniment

Bridging Faith and Person-Centred Therapy

Beschreibung

Counsellors and therapists are increasingly recognising the central importance of spirituality in the lives of many clients. As a result, issues of spirituality - long the exclusive domain of the clergy - are rapidly gaining legitimacy and acceptance in the field of psychotherapy. Counselling and Spiritual Accompaniment presents a collection of the most significant spiritually-focused writings of Brian Thorne, one of the most influential thinkers on the convergence of spirituality with counselling. Noted for his work on the spiritual dimension and applications of Carl Rogers' groundbreaking person-centred therapeutic approach, Thorne reflects on his three decades of successful contributions to this burgeoning field, while also bringing readers up-to-date with his recent work on companionship and spiritual accompaniment. Counselling and Spiritual Accompaniment represents a provocative challenge to current trends in counselling and psychotherapy in its calling for a greater consideration of the role of spirituality in the pursuit of emotional health, happiness and well-being.
