Review:
"It is impossible to do justice to such an exhaustive, broadbased and very readable work in a short review. Professor McLeod has been meticulous, and with true scientific impartiality has looked at, studied and described the many strands and different schools of thought and methods that can lead towards successful counselling."-Therapy Weekly "This is a fascinating, informative, comprehensive and very readable book...McLeod has produced a text that offers a great deal no matter what your level of competence or knowledge."-Journal of Interprofessional Care "...one of the book's strengths is McLeod's willingness to go beyond a history of the development of counselling or a beginner's technical manual...[and to] consider the political dimensions of counselling and the relevance of power to counselling relationships. A worthwhile acquisition for therapeutic community members, whatever their discipline or background."-Therapeutic Communities
