Learning

The CLL approach was
developed by Charles Arthur
Curran.
He was a Jesuit priest,
professor of psychology at
Loyola University Chicago, and
counseling specialist.

According to Curran, a
counselor helps a client
understand his or her own
problems better by 'capturing
the essence of the clients
concern and relating the
client's affect to cognition...;'
in effect, understanding the
client and responding in a
detached yet considerate
manner.
