′Excellent, clear text′ `A clear and thorough guide to the early, middle and final stages of therapy, accompanied by an exposition of the major contributions of Psychosynthesis theory, such as inner identity and subpersonalities, and working with the will and transpersonal qualities... Because the function of the counsellor is given unusually close treatment, it is an excellent book for any practitioners who want to refresh or enlarge their approach. Assagioli′s view has long been ahead of its time: this book will help to close the gap′ - Resurgence The Second Edition of this best selling book gives both trainee counsellors and practitioners from other orientations a clear guide to the principles and techniques of psychosynthesis, and shows how they can be used effectively in the counselling setting. Following the course of the counselling process, the book shows step-by-step how psychosynthesis can help clients to gain a sense of connection with their inner selves and find meaning and purpose in their lives. The author explains the wide range of practical techniques available to practitioners and how to use them to meet the needs of different clients. The book is illustrated throughout with examples from practice, and includes an in-depth case history.

`In a highly readable and enjoyable style, Whitmore achieves her goal of providing not only a basic introduction to the practice of psychosynthesis but a work which enriches and expands its tradition, contributing to the technique, context and philosophy of counsellors who provide "an opportunity to work more creatively with the redemption of pain and the evocation of potential" - Changes Bookshop News
