ABSTRACT
Death is the contrast that can make life seem more precious. For some, death is to be feared; for others, it is another step on a path; and it may be regarded as a great adventure. However the clients view death, as counsellors are required to see it through their eyes and to share in whatever emerges for them as they seek to come to terms with what it arouses in them. Some may say that death and dying are perhaps the hardest of issues to deal with. The fact is that relationships can damage and relationships can heal. The person-centred counsellor strives to offer a healing relationship, not to take the pain away. The author hopes that this book and the effect that it has does bring self-insight and greater understanding of the role of the person-centred counsellor or therapist when working with clients who are addressing the issues of death and dying.
