ABSTRACT

.. with the increasing professionalization of counselling, postmodernism provides a useful way of exploring such questions as:... To what extent does the other (client, patient become only part of a supporting cast in a drama set up to preserve the counsellor's privilege and protect the counsellor's approach? ... Can the postmodern counsellor stop counselling from reverting to a technique orientated mechanism of professional vested interests, and instead find a better way for all of us to put the other first?"
