When people search for someone to help them reflect upon and improve their
lives, they tend to be drawn towards those who are compassionate,
committed and wise. This book explores the helping processes
involved and draws
upon the experiences and practice wisdom of helpers such as youth workers, housing
support workers, the clergy and those working in a
religious setting, and education.
