Working at Relational Depth in Counselling and Psychotherapy by Dave Mearns and Mick Cooper is a seminal text that explores the heart of the therapeutic encounter. This new edition features an updated preface, new content on recent research and developments, and new case studies, offering fresh insights into the concept of 'relational depth'. The authors describe a form of encounter where therapist and client experience profound feelings of contact and engagement, allowing the client to explore fundamental aspects of their existence. This book has helped thousands of trainees and practitioners understand how to facilitate relationally-deep encounters, identify personal 'blocks', and consider new therapeutic concepts.
