Author(s) : Laura Beres, Author(s) : David Crawley

Reviews and Endorsements

"A must-read for clinicians seeking to engage spirituality with comfort and competence. Laura Béres makes a major contribution to the theory and practice of narrative therapy in this wise, clinically grounded, justice-oriented book. I can’t wait to teach it!" - Duane Bidwell, PhD, Professor of Spiritual Care & Counseling, Claremont School of Theology, USA.

"Laura Béres makes links between narrative therapy and monkish and Buddhist practices. She infuses these spiritual traditions with her own emphases and produces a rare thing – a fresh approach to spirituality. Since Freud, spirituality has been left out of therapy in the rush to have it recognized as a science. Laura Béres seeks to tackle these behemoths and what emerges is an exciting mix of spiritual practices and beliefs." - John Winslade, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Department of Special Education, Rehabilitation and Counseling, California State University, USA.

"Addressing the lack of spirituality in narrative therapy, Laura Béres explores the wisdom of significant spiritual teachers which illustrates how mind or spirit, body and world are interconnected. Grounded in Laura Béres’s and David Crawley’s counselling experience, this will effectively resource practitioners to integrate the language of soul into narrative approaches." - Fiona Gardner, PhD, Associate Professor, Social Work and Social Policy, La Trobe University, Australia.
