Description: Mutual Accompaniment and the Creation of the Commons by Mary Watkins, George Lipsitz, G.A. Bradshaw A landmark book that maps a radical model not only for the "helping" professions but for the work of solidarity FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher 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.

She is cofounder of the Community, Liberation, Indigenous, and Eco-Psychologies graduate specialization at Pacifica Graduate Institute.
