4th edition of a seminal work, brought up-to-date and invaluable for trainees in person-centred work/students of person-centred theory alike.
Clear accessible text which is embedded in practice. Students found the examples really useful and the use of terminology appropriate but accessible.
This is an excellent text which provides a concise update on person centred counselling and is very relevant for coaching which is my main interest. It provides trainee coaches with a succinct appreciation of the topic at a level of depth over and above short chapters in text books which I was otherwise using. Other texts are too wordy or out of date
A detailed analysis of the person-centred approach to counselling which will enable students to develop their knowledge and understanding to a critical level. Key concepts are explained in depth and illustrated with appropriate examples.
Jargon free and well written this is definitely an essential read for all our students and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
This is an excellent book for learners wanting to find out more about Person-Centred Counselling.
