Mutual Accompaniment and the Creation of the Commons Hardback
by Mary Watkins
Hardback
Description
A landmark book that maps a radical model not only for the “helping” professions but for the work of solidarity This timely and pathbreaking volume maps a radical model of accompaniment, exploring its profound implications for solidarity.
Psychosocial and ecological accompaniment is a mode of responsive assistance that combines psychosocial understanding with political and cultural action.
Accompaniment—grounded in horizontality, interdependence, and potential mutuality—moves away from hierarchical and unidirectional helping-profession approaches that decontextualize suffering.
Watkins envisions a powerful paradigm of mutual solidarity with profound implications for creating commons in the face of societal division and indifference to suffering.
