Product Description

Product Description

This second volume of Brian Thorne′s collected works, shows convincingly that the spiritual needs and yearnings of many clients presenting themselves to secular counsellors can no longer be ignored, trivialised or pathologised. The book constitutes an impassioned plea both to person–centred therapists to acknowledge the centrality of spiritual issues for many of their clients and also to Christians to embrace the richness of their spiritual tradition without becoming entangled in the death–dealing complexity of religious and institutional power–mongering.

5.0 out of 5 stars A passionate view of spirituality in counselling, 1 Sep 2001
Having read this book, I feel deeply touched by Brian Thorne's anguish with our modern Thatcherite materialist world. I am not a Christian, nor have I ever been a Christian, but I can really relate to Brian Thorne's pleas for more humanity in this harsh, grasping world that our collective greed has created. If I were to summarise his message to us, it would be that, as a person-centred counsellor, love heals all. Love is all you need as a counsellor, love is all you need as a client seeking help from a counsellor. And to be a loving person, one needs to be authentic, one needs to be true to oneself. This is a short book but a profound one. I did not relate much to the first part of the book, where the author discusses the events of the last few days of Christ's life, but then I am not a Christian. Later, he seems to me to speak not from his beliefs but from his heart, from his profound understanding based on a lifetime of helping people in need, and it is a joy to read him, through the tears - both mine and his. I am currently studying for a diploma in counselling, and I can highly recommend this book to anybody who is interested in the spiritual aspects of counselling. I would venture to suggest (as Thorne implies) that counselling that does not have a spiritual aspect is not counselling but merely problem solving which trivialises the real issues in life. Brian Thorne shows here how to put the humanity back into counselling.
