Person–Centred Counselling and Christian Spirituality: The Secular and the Holy

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.
