The Handbook of Person-Centred Psychotherapy and Counselling cover

Reflecting the latest trends in theory and practice, this revised and updated third edition is the most in-depth and comprehensive handbook available on person-centred psychotherapy and counselling.

Written by a diverse range of expert contributors, unified by a relational, ethics-based reading of person-centred theory and practice, this seminal text is the most in-depth and comprehensive guide to person-centred therapy.

Divided into four parts, it examines the theoretical, philosophical and historical foundations of the person-centred approach; the fundamental principles of person-centred practice (as well as new developments in, and applications of, person-centred clinical work), explorations of how person-centred conceptualisations and practices can be applied to groups of clients who bring particular issues to therapy, such as bereavement or trauma, and professional issues for person-centred therapists such as ethics, supervision, and training.

10 years after it was last published, this third edition includes new content on the climate crisis, intersectionality and working with racism and anti-racism. It includes new dedicated chapters on the Non-directive Attitude, Relational Depth, Experiential Practices, Working with Trauma, Online PCA and Person-Centred approaches around the Globe.

International and interdisciplinary in conception, this is a cutting-edge resource for students of psychotherapy and counselling on a range of programmes, as well as professional practitioners working in the field.

This comprehensive and cutting edge resource is the standard reference work for the person-centred approach, providing unrivalled theoretical and practice-based perspectives. * Dr Peter Pearce, Metanoia Institute, UK *
Featuring an impressive array of internationally-known authors and offering well-written and thoughtful chapters of both classical and newer models of humanistic therapy, this essential volume will be of great benefit to all clinicians. * Dr Barry Faber, Columbia University, USA *
A must-read for counselling and psychotherapy students and experienced therapists alike. * Lesley Dougan, Liverpool John Moores University, UK *
