Prophecy, Behaviour and Change: An Examination of Self-fulfilling Prophecies in Helping Relationships - Paperback

by Gerald G. Smale (Author)

Originally published in 1977, in this title Gerald Smale argues that the expectations of the professional helper, whether social worker, doctor, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, psychotherapist or counsellor, can act as self-fulfilling prophecies on his or her clients, for better or worse.
