| Summary |
"Probing beneath contemporary cliches about 'personal development,' this interdisciplinary text integrates personal, social and 'transpersonal' dimensions of identity formation and frustration. It weaves psychological, sociological and philosophical authors in a scholarly, erudite, yet highly accessible, almost conversational style, and examines the very identity of counselling. Is it a treatment of people? Or a way of treating people?"--BOOK JACKET |
