relationship. Teachers of co-counselling are strongly discouraged from having sexual relationships with people they have taught. Relations between CCI and RC The existence of other co-counselling organisations is generally not mentioned in RC, and RC co-counsellors are often not aware of their existence. Amongst those within RC who know about it, CCI is often seen as an "attack organisation" and was specifically condemned as such in many private and public conversations by Jackins, who claimed that Heron had started it against a specific agreement not to, and in breach of RC guidelines he had previously agreed to. In turn, Heron and many of his supporters claimed that RC was authoritarian and cult-like, and later, that Jackins engaged in sexual abuse of clients. RC supporters parried that CCI fostered a sexually-liberal atmosphere that blurred the boundaries of co-counselling and relationships. The history of co-counselling including its origins with RC is normally taught on CCI Fundamentals courses. CCI, by its nature, has no corporate opinion about RC, and individual CCI co-counsellors have their own views. Most CCI co-counsellors have a benevolent view toward RC, regarding it as a different, alternative approach to co-counselling. Membership of RC is not a bar to membership of CCI, and a few people manage to do both despite the RC ban. Other co-counselling initiatives Focusing Partnerships. Co-counselling based on the focusing technique of Eugene Gendlin. The Association of Karen Horney Psychoanalytic Counsellors were the original publishers of The Barefoot Psychoanalyst, which allies the practice of co-counselling with the theories of Karen Horney. In 1987, the association became The Institute for Self-Analysis, a member of the International Karen Horney Society. Dror Co-Counseling was founded in Israel in 1998. Peer Listeners was an organisation set up following the resignation of Belgian Daniel Le Bon from RC in 1989.
