Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy
The founding text of the pluralistic approach: different clients need different things at different times, so goals and methods are negotiated rather than prescribed.
Cooper and McLeod argue that no single orientation suits every client, and set out a framework in which therapist and client agree together on goals, tasks and methods, then revisit that agreement as the work develops. The book covers metatherapeutic dialogue, working with client preferences, and how to draw on more than one tradition without losing coherence.
