`I found myself fascinated, riveted by the accessibility of the prose and format, and, most importantly, splendidly re-engaged with the person-centred approach... The book will prove most useful to practitioners and students of the person-centred approach to counselling, but those from other orientations might also be agreeably surprised by its depth and by Mearns′, dare I say, analytical approach to his subject. I found his style of writing intelligent and clearly set out and, whilst thoroughly academic, it included lots of good clinical evidence and cameos... there is nothing vague or highly idealised, but rather a set of clear thinking, rigorous chapters that make it a most worthwhile addition to the current counselling literature′ - Self & Society
Crucial areas such as the therapeutic alliance and process, the development of the counsellor and the person-centred perspective in relation to psychopathology are examined in this volume.
An introduction focuses on the importance of training in depth, expressing caution about adopting the more advanced methods illustrated in the book without rigorous preparation, and provides a summary of the central features of person-centred counselling. Following on from this, the volume′s 30 sections are organized into six categories, each of which will help practising counsellors improve their skills within the person-centred approach.
