This pocket-sized book is the ideal starting place for those new to person-centred counselling. The revised new edition provides a concise, yet thoroughly up-to-date introduction to the theory and practice of this approach.

Responding to the growing need for integrative practice and the recent explosion of CBT, this book objectively compares and contrasts CBT and person-centred approaches. It subsequently shows how counsellors can incorporate relevant cognitive and behavioural skills into their work without betraying their humanistic values.
