Summary

"Using examples from both personal and professional settings, The Shadow and the Counsellor introduces the concept of shadow, examines how it comes into being and explores its impact within the counselling context. It considers how the counsellor's work may be affected by identifying and incorporating material from the shadow into conscious awareness, and applies the concept of shadow to the role of counsellor and counselling itself."--BOOK JACKET. "The Shadow and the Counsellor should prove accessible to a broad spectrum of counsellors and therapists, challenging them to face those aspects of themselves and of the counselling role which can do harm as well as good."--Jacket.
