Adopter′s comment

′A fascinating book which combines couple counselling with person-centred counsellingWill be recommended reading for social work students working with couple relationships′

′Very readible. Useful for students of counselling beyomd the ′title′ focus of couples and families′

`Compelling reading... I liked this book. It is intelligent, thought-provoking, occasionally funny and a delight to read. I warmed to the author′s passion for the work of Carl Rogers.... All Relate counsellors will find something of value - even the strict psychodynamic practitioners′ - Relate News

`This is a highly readable text, which incorporates the theory and practice of counselling couples and families, integrated with principles from the person-centred approach....This text is most valuable to the beginner counsellor, however it can be considered a refresher to the more established practitioner′ - Eisteach

`Provides a very good introduction for counsellors in working with families′ - British Journal of Guidance & Counselling′

`This book is unique in its articulation of family therapy and the person-centred approach. It is also engaging in the way couples and the families come to life through Charlie O′Leary′s acute and sensitive observation. It is an essential text in any person-centred therapy library′- Dave Mearns, University of Strathclyde

`In this highly readable text, the theory and practice of counselling couples and families are successfully integrated with principles from the Rogerian/person-centred approach. In this sense the book is unique: although a lot of counsellors in fact practice relational therapy from a person-centred perspective, until now, no basic text was available in this field′ - Alfons Vansteenwegen, INTAMS Review
