Weaving Compassion

Weaving Compassion: Relational Understandings and Practices carries an important message that compassionate practice is possible across different contexts: counselling, supervision, as well as leadership and management. Bringing together a community of thought leaders and notable practitioners in the domain of psychotherapy and counselling, this seminal compendium comprises penetrating insights, broad subject matters and real-life stories on how compassion is appreciated and practised. This book serves as a tribute to the late Anthony Yeo (1948-2009), affectionately recognised as the Father of Counselling in Singapore. It evinces his enduring legacy of compassionate practice and hopes to be a voice for everyone: social service practitioners, trainers, managers, industry leaders and policymakers who aspire to create a practice culture where empathy, learning and growth perpetuate.
