Zusammenfassung:Foreword: accompaniment as a way of life / George Lipsitz -- Introduction -- Accompaniment: existential, psychosocial, ecological -- Creating social democracy through mutual accompaniment: the social settlement movement -- Radical hospitality and the heart of accompaniment -- Psychosocial accompaniment: from liberation theology to social medicine and liberation psychology -- After the asylum: accompaniment in the context of mental illness -- Beyond treatment: peer and ecological accompaniment -- Pathways through mutual accompaniment to solidarity -- Nonhuman animal accompaniment / G.A. Bradshaw -- Earth accompaniment: standing with trees, waters, mountains, earth, and air -- Mutual accompaniment and the commons-to-come -- Notes -- Acknowledgments -- Index.
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
