Synopsis

For many decades, two powerful alternatives to traditional, authoritarian approaches to psychotherapy and human relationships have been developing in parallel yet separate spheres. This is the first book that brings together the powerful forces of feminist and person-centred theories to offer a dynamic alternative that is based on principles of mutual relationships, genuineness and respect. While the focus of this book is primarily psychotherapy, it also covers general theories, politics, education and spirituality.
