Contents:

  • Features
    • Working with a bulimic client

      • Ginny, a person-centred counsellor, reflects with her supervisor on her concerns for her client Carole’s health after their first session together...

    • Is your new client pregnant...?

      • Marsha is a potential client who has arrived for her assessment session. You have an early impression that she looks pregnant but she makes no reference herself to this. She describes her life as unhappy  and stressful, working part-time, with two school-age children to look after and a husband who is not particularly supportive.

    • What would Carl say?

      • Richard Worsley discusses from a person-centred perspective the complexity and nature of the facilitator’s authority within the group

    • Regaining playfulness

      • Play therapy lends itself to work with adolescents. Here, Lisa Rogers and Hal Pickett discuss techniques for engaging young people who have eating disorders

    • Videoing what happens: do we dare?

      • Vernon Muller proposes occasional videoing of client sessions in order to present our work in supervision, for accountability and professionalism

    • Tangled spaghetti in my head

      • Symbolic Modelling can be used within any modality to help clients explore and work with their own metaphors and symbols. Penny Tompkins, Wendy Sullivan and James Lawley describe how this technique works

    • Working at relational depth

      • Surface-level relational variables are well documented in therapy research. Here, Mick Cooper discusses how the core conditions can become a single way of being to enable the forming of a deeper, more useful relationship

    • Cover feature

      • Our knowledge of how eating disorders develop has changed in recent years – and practitioners who do not use research to adjust the help they offer are failing their clients

  • Regulars
    • Columns
      • First person

        • I used to think that I was addicted to food in the same way that a drug addict is addicted to drugs.

    • Editorial

      • When I look at the women I know, I’d say that a high proportion of them have a difficult relationship with food. To live in some sort of denial about food is almost part of our identity as 21st century western women: everywhere we look food tempts us – food is ‘the new sex’: this is the era of the glossy food magazine, the celebrity chef and the seductive cookery programme.
