Person-Centred Counselling in a Nutshell

Counselling in a Nutshell
Using examples drawn from practice, Roger Casemore outlines, in a clear, jargon-free style, the main principles of the person-centred approach, using the core therapeutic conditions:
- congruence
- unconditional regard
- empathy
This revised and updated second edition includes new material on professional issues, on the use of person-centred counselling in short-term therapy, and on the wider application of the person-centred approach in other settings.
Providing a concise introduction to the theory and practice of person-centred counselling, Person-Centred Counselling in a Nutshell is the ideal place to start for anyone reading about the approach for the first time.
Roger Casemore is Senior Teaching Fellow and Director of Counselling courses at University of Warwick
This is a useful text for those student nurses who are particularly interested in learning more about person centred approaches, a critique of Rogers core conditions and the necessary values needed to relate in a person centred way. Although our nursing programmes are not teaching 'counselling' per se, this text will benefit learning disability student nurses (and qualifed CPD students) specifically to enhance their person centred beliefs and attitudes which form an integral part of what an LD nurse does. There is also value in recommending the text as an introduction to Rogers' work for 1st year students who learn about communicating in a diverse world.
