| Summary |
"Here is a clear, readable, radical scrutiny of counselling. It dissects the four major schools of therapy as indicators of a broader spiritual and cultural sickness. The many questions raised require answers if the credibility and integrity of counselling are to be retained." "The author's ultimate target is not counselling, but the abuse of professionalization and our current deity - consumerism. It should become mandatory reading for counsellors, psychotherapists, trainers and trainees."--BOOK JACKET |
