At the heart of your agency is your \u003ci\u003eself\u003c\/i\u003e: positive, puzzling, and problematic.\n\nColin Kirkwood explores these and other ideas of John Macmurray, Ian Suttie, Ronald Fairbairn, John D Sutherland and Paulo Freire, and shows how they apply in counselling and psychotherapy, adult education, community and society.\n\nIn today’s world, a set of ideas, attitudes and practices has taken hold, which emphasise the individual, self-centredness, pleasure-seeking, consumption, success and the accumulation of wealth and power. They are deeply harmful and need to be tackled.\n\nColin demonstrates how these ideas affect us, and how they can be taken on and defeated, in \u003ci\u003ea dialogical narrative of psychotherapy\u003c\/i\u003e with a girl suffering from severe anorexia, written by the girl herself, her psychotherapist and one of her doctors.","brand":"Colin Kirkwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48271358001403,"sku":"9789460919084","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_82ab961b-a6cf-43f1-a7a0-dc6c22062f03.jpg?v=1774742896","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-persons-in-relation-perspective-9789460919084","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
