Personal development is a core element in counsellor training. This book is an essential guide to personal development and includes discussion about self-knowledge and its implications for different modes of counselling.

The theoretical premises are supported with accounts of personal experience.

The invaluable insights contained in this unique book are relevant to counsellors, trainers, supervisors, psychotherapy trainers and trainees, and students of counsellor training courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars For any trainee counsellor, an absolute must, 2 Jun 2007
By Brida "izumi" (Worcs) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Personal Development in Counsellor Training (Counsellor Trainer & Supervisor) (Paperback)
I am coming to the end of my first year in a diploma course for counsellors. Presently, I have been writing an assignment about my own persoanl development throughout this first year, particularly within my PD group. I could not have done half of what I have without this book. Anyone who is serious about their training as a counsellor, and about furthering themselves, should seek out a copy of this book.
Although there is such a bearing upon personal development on counselling courses, there is actually little research or literature dedicated just to the subject. This can often leave trainees feeling slightly baffled about just what constitutes personal development, and perhaps most importantly, how do we go about achieving it?
While this book doesn't have all the answers, it goes as far to it as it can. The very first chapter attempts to answer just what personal development is and why it is seen as so necessary. The following chapter then attempts to throw light upon where it happens and how it can vary. There is also a good chapter on the theroretical differences in relation to personal development. For myself, the chapter towards the end which solely looks at personal development through groups was an essential piece for using towards my assessed work. Again, personal development group work is little researched, so this section was invaluable to me.

This book should be read by anyone wanting to seriously become a counsellor. Regardless of the theoretical stance you take, one thing that is inevitable about counselling is that the therapist's 'self' will be present in the counselling room. How that 'self' affects the relationship and the client, is very important. By reading this book and considering yourself and your own development, you can work towards gaining a better understanding of your 'self', the one your clients will see.

Read this book - borrow it if you must, but take the time to consider what it is about.
