Practised Wisdom. References. Review A gem of a book: original, fascinating and beautifully crafted. Challenging the conventional wisdom that theory precedes practice, it outlines a range of creative sources that trainees and practitioners can draw on to inform and inspire their work. -- Mick Cooper, Professor of Counselling PsychologyThis is an enchanting and memorable book, which speaks directly to anyone who has any kind of involvement in psychotherapeutic work. It consists of a series of brief essays that are personal, passionate and at the same time philosophically informed on central aspects of the experience of therapy. Fresh ways of looking at familiar topics, such as empathy and intersubjectivity, sit alongside illuminating exploration of concepts that are not part of the current therapy landscape: juggling, adventure, bravery. While grounded in a clear stance in relation to the nature of practical knowing, Tony Evans is not promoting a new theory or model of therapy. Instead, he offers a counterpoint to established models and theories, an invitation to look at old ideas in new ways. I warmly recommend his writing to anyone seeking to expand their therapeutic imagination. -- John McLeod, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of Abertay Promotional A practical guide to developing skills and practice wisdom for students and counsellors Long Description Conveying the reality of the counselling room, this book provides helpful tips and techniques to enable practitioners to develop and refine their skills.
