The Problem with the Humanistic Therapies by Nick Totton
'Totton attempts the impossible, but largely succeeds in laying out many of the pros and cons of humanistic therapies. This useful book will fuel many discussions amongst therapists and students.'- Pete Sanders, author of First Steps in Counselling'Although there are parts of this book that I disagree with, Nick Totton has written a stimulating, focused and well-articulated critique of the humanistic approach highlighting areas that may be considered strengths as well as limitations. For humanistic psychotherapists and trainees who are interested in how the approach may be seen from the outside, it will be a valuable read.'- Professor Mick Cooper, Strathclyde University, author of Existential Therapies
