Developing Person-Centred Counselling by Dave Mearns

Developing Person-Centred Counselling by Dave Mearns

`This is a useful book for those who use person-centred counselling in their practice, or who are training to become person-centred counsellors - Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy

`Each chapter has a key point pr[ac]ecis which acts as an excellent aide memoireThroughout the book, the author includes snippets from actual case histories which elucidate his theme... Some of this book exposes new territory in person-centred counselling while other parts introduce the reader to the very latest issues tackled in intensive person-centred counselling training... This is a useful book for those who use person-centred counselling in their practice, or who are training to become person-centred counsellors′ - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling

`Simply stated and reliable... each of the 30 chapters is brief, punchy, illustrated with examples and punctuated with a short summary box. The coverage of the book is broad... [it] is written for training and practising person-centred counsellors, for whom many of the issues covered will be personally and clinically relevant′ - Clinical Psychology Forum

`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
