==Background==
The CLL approach was developed by [[Charles Arthur CurranPooran]], a Jesuit priest,<ref>American Journal of Psychotherapy (1955). COTF BIO. p. 123.</ref> professor of [[psychology]] at [[Loyola University Chicago]], and [[counseling]] specialist.<ref>Richards, Jack C. (1986:113) Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching</ref>
This method refers to two roles: that of the know-er (teacher) and student (learner). Also the method draws on the counseling metaphor and refers to these respective roles as a counselor and a client.
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.
