INTRO TO COUNSELLING (2ND EDN) by Mcleod
This revised and expanded edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of counselling and therapy. It covers the core approaches to counselling, and takes a critical approach to issues of professional practice. New chapters in this edition cover: systematic, feminist, narrative and multicultural approaches to counselling; and a new chapter examines ways of making sense of the actual process of counselling. There are also short, illustrative vignettes or case studies included in this text.
