This book explores how the therapist's own narratives can facilitate and stand in the way of effective therapeutic processes. Examining influences of family, culture and gender, the power of the emotions, and how language reveals our assumptions and prejudices, this book offers clear and concise guidance to help therapists and supervisors alike. FRAN HEDGES is Head of Counselling at Roehampton University and formerly Director at Kensington Consultation Centre (now KCC International) when she set up and taught on the Diploma in Individual Systemic Counselling and Psychotherapy.
