ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the several different client groups, considering how each of the client groups’ processes has evolved within a person-centred framework. Clients who engage in recovery programmes spend a good deal of their time in talking-based group and individual sessions, which may exacerbate an already present lack of body–mind integration. There is an innate defensiveness in a significant number of clients within this population, perhaps ascribable to their experience of negative judgements by self and others. The interpersonal skill of each client was diverse, ranging from an overconfident, talkative presence through to a disconnected, muted one. Anger was a strong but often unspoken presence in groups, both in a contained sense within individuals and also in social interactions. Power is important because the life experience of the majority of clients within this population has disempowered them, sometimes from childhood onwards.
