PCCS Books is an independent mental health publisher.
We want a better deal for everyone who seeks help for emotional distress – better understanding from practitioners and society, better responses and more choices from services and better outcomes from treatments. Our aim is that our publishing reflects these goals.
For Robin Shohet and his co-contributors to this book, spiritual practice may be defined as the awareness there is something more to human existence than just us, as separate individuals. A spiritual perspective enables us to make deeper connections with ourselves, and accordingly with each other. We move from the finite game – that of measuring results and outcomes – to the infinite game, where creativity and new possibilities can emerge. In so doing, we transcend what Shohet argues is socially conditioned, fear-based separation from each other and everything around us. And this too is the role and purpose of supervision, as explored in this book. Shohet brings together essays by counsellors and coaches from a diploma course on supervision as spiritual practice. Contributors write with brave honesty and vulnerability about their journeys; how they came to embrace a state of not knowing, making space for greater depth and connection in the supervisory relationship which can translate into all relationships.
This is a valuable book to read for all supervisors and supervisees, interested in the question, "How can my supervision be more spiritual?" Robin Shohet and his students open interesting and personal windows and reflections on many different ways of engaging with supervision, informed by a spiritual lens and by personal spiritual practices. As in his previous books, Robin brings a refreshing, different and challenging approach to the more mainstream supervision literature.
