Publisher's Synopsis
The work of Siegfried Schubenz was varied and multi-faceted. He initiated the development of new forms of psycho-social care and new practices. The common thread of his diversified approach was the firm belief that emotional crisis is an obstruction to personal development. These obstacles can only be overcome or alleviated in a cooperative process between those helping and those seeking help. This book gives voice to the representatives of these practices, creating an overview of the scope of Schubenz's work - from pedagogy to the relationship of human and animal to psychotherapy.
