Synopsis

In Women Writing in the Person-Centred Approach, Irene Fairhurst has compiled an international anthology of person-centred writings by women. In the field of counselling and psychotherapy, on person-centred training courses, women outnumber men by about eight to one, yet in our literature the opposite is the case. This book both redresses that balance and presents the reader with a uniquely themed collection of work in the person-centred tradition. From the distinguished practitioners to the yet-to-be-famous, the contributors present a refreshing range of chapters.

About this title

About the Author

Irene Fairhurst is co-founder and past President of the British Association for the Person-Centred Approach (BAPCA). Born in 1941, she left her seaside home at the age of 17 to live in a community in East London where she became a volunteer youth worker and later full-time youth and community worker. It was through her work with young people that she became aware of counselling and the person-centred approach as a way of being. Her further involvement in the work includes co-founding the Institute for Person-Centred Learning (IPCL) and working with Carl Rogers in Europe and the UK.
