Mutual Accompaniment and the Creation of the Commons
Autor Mary Watkins Cuvânt înainte de George Lipsitz Contribuţii de G. A. Bradshawen Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 aug 2019
This timely and pathbreaking volume maps a radical model of accompaniment, exploring its profound implications for solidarity. Psychosocial and ecological accompaniment is a mode of responsive assistance that combines psychosocial understanding with political and cultural action. Accompaniment—grounded in horizontality, interdependence, and potential mutuality—moves away from hierarchical and unidirectional helping-profession approaches that decontextualize suffering. Watkins envisions a powerful paradigm of mutual solidarity with profound implications for creating commons in the face of societal division and indifference to suffering.

Recenzii
“Quite creative and amazingly integrative.”—Darcia Narvaez, University of Notre Dame, author of Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture and Wisdom
“This original and impressively thorough book has the potential to establish ‘psychosocial accompaniment’ as a primary mode of practice in the helping professions. It is the perfect antidote to widespread indifference to human suffering.”—Tod Sloan, Lewis and Clark College, author of Damaged Life: The Crisis of the Modern Psyche
“An original and significant intervention that will have far-ranging appeal to students of psychology, anthropology, and cultural studies. This book holds the potential of becoming a classic.”—Deanne Bell, University of East London
“A timely book, full of delightful anecdotes and practical guidance. Mary Watkins has crafted an extraordinary story of a nearly forgotten practice.”—Peter Westoby, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, coauthor of Participatory Development Practice: Using Traditional and Contemporary Frameworks
“Watkins speaks about the need for providers to go beyond their privileged comfort levels and address the real needs of the people we aim to serve and support.”—Chakira M. Haddock Lazala, Ph.D.
