Colin Lago, author of Race, Culture and Counselling: The Ongoing Challenge. (OUP, 2006)As therapy moves from psychological tool to a greater focus on the nature and quality of the relationship itself, this book sums up and critically reflects on the different views of the therapeutic relationship. It offers new perspectives that empower the practitioner and illuminate theory, based in reflective practice.
