Report

"This is a very thought-provoking and valuable resource for anybody undertaking counselling, either as practitioner and even as a client. The book is not only very easy to read but also extremely interesting. It should form the basis of all counselling and psychotherapy training and be a well-thumbed resident on everyone's bookshelf"

Grainne Griffin, Head of the Professional Conduct Department, BACP
