Format:Paperback
I got this book as I'm about to begin training on the long road to being a therapist, but I expected it to be a little basic. Instead I was very much surprised and challenged by this book, which made me really look at my own motivations, beliefs and skills in relation to choosing such a demanding career. I found it very accessible without being patronising, and absolutely full of useful information and examples. The text is simple and clear, the information is broad ranging, and the overall message is encouraging, unlike so many other books on counselling and therapy. The message is that choosing therapy as a career is never an easy option but that the personal rewards are great, and the book manages to demystify a lot of the theory through straightforward examples and suggestions of approaches to use in various situations. Ms Milne treats all issues with great sensitivity and I was particularly impressed with the chapter on more serious issues clients may present such as grief, suicidal thoughts, self-harm and childhood abuse. Even my therapist (a well respected therapist and trainer) wanted a copy!

This book is absolutely essential for anyone doing counselling courses, whether Initial Skills courses or Advanced Diplomas. The book covers so many areas and breaks it all down into manageable chunks which are all easy-to-read and therefore absorb.
I could not have completed my Counselling Studies course without this guide, it was easy to look anything up and it also gave me food for thought in many areas, which I could then use for course criteria. Buy it!!!

Bought this book to try to make sense of my counselling course with the OU, which was a nightmare. This book is good at making some of the complex terms and concepts in psychodynamic, person-centred and CBT much more user friendly.
