Synopsis

`[This is] a book which accepts and even celebrates the diversity of ideas in the field. It stimulates interest and informs. It stirs up debates, and leaves the reader to continue to think about them... an important book, not to be missed by any serious counselling student or practitioner′ - British Journal of Guidance and Counselling

This major new edition of the highly successful Individual Therapy: A Handbook presents an authoritative overview of 12 key approaches to individual therapy. All chapters have been updated or completely rewritten.

A distinguished team assembled from among Britain′s leading counsellors and psychotherapists introduces the principles and methods of each approach concisely and accessibly. Further chapters place counselling and psychotherapy in its social context, relate research to actual therapeutic practice, and explore the training and supervision of therapists.
