The Shadow and the Counsellor: Working with Darker Aspects of the Person, Role and Profession

Blurb

The Shadow and the Counsellor introduces the concept of shadow, the darker side to ourselves that we do not wish to acknowledge, or do not even recognise. It examines how it comes into being and explores its impact within counselling. The Shadow and the Counsellor is structured around a six stage model which is designed to help the counsellor recognise, confront and deal with their 'shadow' side. This can then be a framework for reflection and practical action.
With case studies including short clinical examples to longer examples running through the book, this will give counsellors a new way of approaching their practice.
