{"product_id":"9780803975286","title":"Inside Counselling: Becoming and Being a Professional Counsellor","description":"Inside Counselling is an original, innovative and creative exploration of the experience of becoming and being a counsellor and engaging in the therapeutic process. Written in a novel-like form, the book enters the internal, subjective world of counselling through its characters: students, counsellors, clients, supervisors and the author himself. Weaving together their perspectives and using 'talk' as its main medium - the talk of counselling and supervision sessions, the training group, workshops and the student's journal - the book breaks away from traditional methods and conventions to present, complex theories, difficult concepts and serious information in an engaging, focused and manageable way through personal experience, reflection and comment.\u003cp\u003eInside Counselling is lively and challenging in its language and candour, but with serious aims: to encourage its readers to think subjectively, to question theories that come solely from outside, to stay with and use their internal world as the main focus of counselling work, and to provide personal development exercises to help the reader access long-forgotten feelings. This is a memorable book, and one which is sure to promote and provoke controversy and discussion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthony Crouch is Head of Training at Counselling South West  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026323357936,"sku":"9780803975286","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803975286_p0.jpg?v=1763728987","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803975286","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
