Skills in Person-Centred Counselling & Psychotherapy

Tolan (counseling, City College, Manchester) brings to life the experience and practice of person-centered psychotherapy. Chapters offer example interactions and exercises in empathetic understanding, psychological contact (basic, cognitive, and subtle), therapeutic process, beginning and ending, and the theoretical framework for person-centered therapy. She also discusses managing work in an organization. Each chapter ends with a list of further reading. This second edition includes a new chapter on debates and developments in practice, authored by Rose Cameron, and a jointly written chapter on edgy and ethical issues.
