`This book covers a significant gap in the relatively spare literature on the person of the counsellor.. the chapters... are written in an easy and accessible style′ - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling

`This book successfully presents readers with an overall view of the major issues that concern counsellors and psychotherapists today.

[and] those who aspire to work in the profession′ - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review

`This book... covers a wide range of topics, including complex matters such as social, cultural, intellectual and personal needs.... It is an interesting trot round some very important topics′ - Self & Society
