Building the Client's Relational Base: A Multi-Disciplinary Handbook
Autor Mark Furlongen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 feb 2013
This book makes a challenging—but hopeful—argument for anyone with a client relationship: sustainable and accountable interpersonal relationships are a precondition for health and well-being. It argues that there are always opportunities to deepen the quality and range of the client connection. Compellingly written, it brings a host of case studies to life, weaving insights from critical theory and social epidemiology into explorations of the practical actions that any professional committed to strengthening the relational base of their clients can take.

Recenzii
“This book is a refreshing re-examination of current practice and helpful in suggesting a variance in approach that might be effective in terms of outcomes for the client: it is well worth reading.”
“Mark Furlong has written a valuable sourcebook that will appeal to a wide range of practitioners who are seeking a new yet rigorous approach to their work with clients. It draws creatively on theories of individualism, isolation, inequality, and exclusion to make a strong case for practice that supports clients to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones.”
“Theoretically sophisticated and very practice oriented; Mark Furlong makes a significant contribution to promoting professional practices which aim to develop the client’s ‘relational self’. A very timely and engaging book.”
