Person-Centred Counselling in Action, 3rd Edition (Counselling in Action series)

Product Information

Widely regarded as the most accessible introduction to the psychodynamic approach, this book covers everything from initial meeting right through to the end of the relationship. These are some of the issues raised, which challenge many concepts of traditional psychology. Presenting the non-directive and related points of view in counselling and therapy, this book defines the progress recently made in the development of the techniques and basic philosophy of counselling. Under what conditions is it possible? It is preoccupied with minute aspects of animal and human behaviour, or with the mentally ill. Contemporary psychology derives largely from the experimental laboratory, or from Freudian theory. In this book, one of America's most distinguished psychologists describes his experiences in helping people to discover the path to personal growth through an understanding of their own limitations and potential.
