Relational Depth: A quantitative researcher’s perspective
Welcome to our series on relational depth.
In this interview Sue Wiggins talks about her experience as a researcher of relational Depth and
Therapy Today writes that, “‘The book represents a ‘gentle revolution’. The gentleness comes from its lack of stridency and from its inclusiveness, and the radical quality is that person-centred therapy in particular, and all therapeutic work in general, cannot be the same again’”
Sue Wilders has strongly critiqued the propositions set out in the book Working at Relational Depth in Counselling and Psychotherapy written by Dave Mearns and Mick Cooper, a text that was met with wide acclaim in the field of counselling and psychotherapy, engaging with an experience recognised by many practitioners as both transformative for the client and deeply meaningful for the therapist.
As part of our series on Relational Depth we have already interviewed Mick Cooper and Sue Wilders about their thoughts and experiences of “relational depth” as theoreticians and practitioners. In this event we interviewed Rosanne Knox about her research of the client’s experience of relational depth.
