Description
The author, a retired homeopathic practitioner as well as a teacher, supervisor, and workshop facilitator understands the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the work is well referenced... It deserves, in my view to become a standard reference book for students as well as an essential ""bible"" for experienced practitioners... I strongly recommend this book to both the experienced and the inexperienced in the confident belief that both will have something to learn from it.
