Clinical Counselling in Context: An Introduction

In the light of the current professionalization of counselling, Clinical Counselling in Context examines the hypothesis that counselling theory and practice is altered by the specific organizational context in which it takes place - the consequence of which is that context is an important force for therapeutic change.
It also argues that, with careful professionalization and a well-thought-out academic base, counselling can be a sophisticated activity which is not just the poor neighbour of psychotherapy.
