Pluralistic Therapy
Workshop with Mick Cooper
North Wales Border – Glyndwr University, Wrexham
18th June 2011
This workshop will introduce, and look at the practical implications of, a pluralistic approach to counselling and psychotherapy, which Mick has been developing with Professor John McLeod of the University of Abertay.
The pluralistic approach is deeply rooted in humanistic and person-centred values, holding that each client is unique, and therefore may need very different things from therapy. On this basis, it creates a framework in which practitioners can integrate a wide variety of methods into their practice.
A key element of a pluralistic approach is metacommunication: talking to clients about what they want from therapy, and how they might most effectively be helped to get there.
The workshop will include a mixture of theory input, skills practice, case examples and discussion, and will be based around material from Mick's new book (with John McLeod ): Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy (Sage, 2010).
This is a new workshop, trialled in the UK from 2010 and is for all counsellors, psychotherapist and psychologists with an interest in integrative, flexible and non-dogmatic ways of working.
Facilitator: Mick Cooper is a Professor of Counselling at the University of Strathclyde and a UKCP-registered existential psychotherapist. Mick is author of Existential Therapies (Sage, 2003), co-author with Dave Mearns of Working at Relational Depth in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Sage, 2005) and has written several chapters and papers on aspects of existential therapy, person-centred therapy and self-plurality.
