Working Within Diversity: A Reflective Guide to Anti-Oppressive Practice in Counselling and Therapy

This reflexive text is how cultural change is engendered. Informative, practical, and accessible this excellent book forces the reader to not only observe their own prejudices and racism, but also builds in tools so that the reader can learn from these experiences as well, meaning there is much to learn from both for those within the helping professions and well as without. Dr Dwight Turner - Course Leader, Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, University of Brighton

This is no-nonsense, plain talking clarity that both challenges and excites. Expect to reflect hard, change your mind and take action for anti-oppressive practice. Dr Niki Cooper. Clinical Director of Place2Be

By engaging readers in a reflective, inclusive process the author spotlights the complexities of relational hierarchies in therapeutic contexts. This is a key text for examining components of Anti-oppressive practice, intersectionality, faith, spirituality, privilege, selfcare and competent supervision dynamics.

This book is a game-changer: in supporting a move from working with, to working within diversity, Myira Khan has offered us a fundamental shift in thinking and perspective. She writes with sensitivity, encouragement, empathy and a humanity that models a way of understanding and being in therapy that truly attends to social justice. A compelling and superb text. Professor Andrew Reeves, Professor in Counselling Professions and Mental Health, University of Chester

The way we approach diversity is changing and Khan's book is a brilliant companion for us on this journey Mel Kinross, counsellor and supervisor, Therapy Today
