SHARING SPACES? Prayer and the Counselling Relationship Jessica Rose (DLT, 2002), 143pp., £9.95 ISBN 0-232-52387-8
The counselling profession is committed to being non-directive and non-judgmental. But what happens when prayer is part of the counsellor's life? Or part of the client's? Or both? 'Sharing Spaces?' is a practical and helpful contribution to an under-explored area, looking at ways in which prayer can inform and nourish the counselling process, as well as ways in which the two areas can be difficult to integrate. Inter Faith Resources Pamphlets, reports, and books, etc.
