Counselling, Class and Politics: Undeclared Influences in Therapy

By Anne Kearney 

Edited Gillian Proctor

First published in 1996, Anne Kearney’s ground-breaking book on class in counselling and its invisibility within the training curriculum and the counselling relationship is reissued here with new commentaries from practitioners, clients and educationalists writing today.

Anne died before she could start work on a planned revision of her text. But how much has really changed? Her motivation, back in 1996, ‘to persuade readers to the view that politics and political ideas matter in counselling’ is just as powerful today. Anne’s book, accessible, unashamedly unapologetic and searching in the questions it asks of readers, is still a vibrant, challenging text for any student, practitioner or trainer today.
