Developing Person-Centred Counselling (Developing Counselling series)

"Though this book does provide many comprehensive answers to questions posed in the Person-centred approach, I agree with the previous review in that having some prior knowledge in the Person-Centred Approach is extremely helpful. Though the book is fairly self-explanatory, it does sometimes dip into specialist terms which led me to page-flicking through other books.

However, do not be worried. At the end of each chapter there is a small summary box which heads up all of the previous chapter neatly. Though a little research into PCA is suggested before reading this book, perhaps that's why it is called *Developing* Person-Centred Counselling. *grin*"

"This book is aimed at counsellors who have already undergone some training in the Person-Centred Approach and are familiar with applying PCA concepts to their work. If people have not yet read Person-Centred Counselling in Action by Dave Mearns I would recommend reading it first. The book covers a wide range of general areas in which PCA counsellors may develop, using examples and ideas for application. It also contains specific applications for PCA counsellors including sections I found very interesting on mental health from a PCA perspective and an interesting review matrix using interpersonal perspectives which I have found very effective with some clients."
