A practical guide to developing skills and practice wisdom for students and counsellors
Dr Tony Evans is a chartered counselling psychologist with 17 years' experience. He is Principal Lecturer at the University of Roehampton and Programme Convener for BSC Psychology and Counselling and BA Therapeutic Psychology.
A gem of a book: original, fascinating and beautifully crafted.
Challenging the conventional wisdom that theory precedes practice,
it outlines a range of creative sources that trainees and
practitioners can draw on to inform and inspire their work.
*Mick Cooper, Professor of Counselling Psychology*
This is an enchanting and memorable book, which speaks directly to
anyone who has any kind of involvement in psychotherapeutic work.
It consists of a series of brief essays that are personal,
passionate and at the same time philosophically informed on central
aspects of the experience of therapy. Fresh ways of looking at
familiar topics, such as empathy and intersubjectivity, sit
alongside illuminating exploration of concepts that are not part of
the current therapy landscape: juggling, adventure, bravery. While
grounded in a clear stance in relation to the nature of practical
knowing, Tony Evans is not promoting a new theory or model of
therapy. Instead, he offers a counterpoint to established models
and theories, an invitation to look at old ideas in new ways. I
warmly recommend his writing to anyone seeking to expand their
therapeutic imagination.
*John McLeod, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of
Abertay*
