Produktbeschreibung

In this thought-provoking text, Liz Bondi and Judith Fewell invite practitioners to move away from an approach to research that depends upon distance and objectification, and towards a method centred on practical wisdom developed through intense exploration of the lived experience of therapeutic relationships.

Following a close examination of the flaws of dominant approaches to research in the field, the book provides a richly detailed exploration of a diverse range of subjective experiences, from both practitioners and clients.

Written by a collection of authors with a wealth of experience in practice and academia, this insightful and evocative text will inspire anyone undertaking research in this field - be they students, educators or practitioners.

Rezensionen

"The authors offer a thoughtful and coherent discussion about the necessity of research outside the strictures of the medical model making an argument for more personal and experiential research being needed. ... I was impressed with the strength of the research that the authors used to consolidate their arguments." (Alexa Duff, The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, Vol. 19 (1), 2019)
