Politicizing the Person-centred Approach by Gillian Proctor
Explores the interface between the Person-Centred Approach and radical political theory and activity. This work also explores the contribution that a critical analysis of social and political factors can make to the practice of person-centred therapy, and examines the contribution this therapy can make to the sphere of socio-political theory.
Doing is a way of being, and 'Policizing the Person-Centred Approach' is not only a call to leave the ivory tower and contextualize the consulting room, it is an important step in helping practitioners to do soIt is a scholarly, fascinating, accessible and most stimulating call to social action'.
