Review
. . . what makes the book so useful [is that] it is a real academic reference book covering a huge amount of ground in such an easily accessible format. I can see myself reaching for this book regularly when I want to look up key information and I expect there to be many well-thumbed copies of this book in person-centred course libraries. An essential text for diploma, degree and masters courses. --Lee Field, PCAI (GB)
When I was a young graduate student Carl Rogers taught me how to read a book in twenty minutes. However it did not work with this book. The content proved so interesting that I found myself continually dropping into close-reading and much of a weekend was lost to other purposes.This book brings together six experts . . . within the person-centred approach and has them present a particularly up-to-date picture . . . The book gives a thorough grounding for today's student in this whole field, particularly as it applies within the British scene . . . [Chapter 1] is compulsive reading for all students of the PCA because it gives what I believe is the most accessible account of the history of the development of the approach . . . I found myself enjoying this chapter tremendously . . . I am intensely jealous of the editor because he has come up with what I think is an extremely imaginative way to present this book and the ideas therein . . . this style of presentation will be absolutely invaluable for students doing essays (tutors had better catch up with this text to stay ahead!). --Professor Dave Mearns, University of Strathclyde (retired)

Product Description
This book has a mission to gather the tribes of the person-centred nation for dialogue; to discover common ground and debate differences; to celebrate the fact that we are, as Margaret Warner declared, one nation, many tribes . In many parts of the world, Person-Centred Therapy is seen as a family of therapies, including Experiential Psychotherapy and Focusing. Closely associated with PCT are Existential Therapy and various integrative approaches. Since Carl Rogers death, there has been much debate regarding what can and cannot rightly claim to be called Person-Centred Therapy . This book brings the debates to a UK readership, with contributions from leading figures in each of the main tribes . Specifically written by UK authors for UK practitioners and students at advanced certificate, diploma, degree and masters level, The Tribes of the Person-Centred Nation is probably the most accessible introduction to these closely associated approaches and their key commonalities and differences. It covers the pivotal names, dates, theory elements and practice issues in an easy-to-read style, along with further reading and resources.

Studying at the moment for person centred therapy, so this is very useful to dip into and compare info on lots of other therapies. A good toolkit item.

A Very Good Guide,
By Sherry (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tribes of the Person-centred Nation: A Guide to the Schools of Therapy Associated with the Person-centred Approach (Paperback)
This book is a great core book to Person Centred theory and how it has has developed post-Roger's into associated theories. It is an easily understood reference that is well thought out for students learning about counselling and personal development theories. I found it great to use as part of my studies, and often gave me a different (and sometimes easier) way to look at theories. I used it a great deal in my first two years studying counselling skills. I recommend it as a solid purchase that will be used and used again. It is great for students. Good buy!

easy to read, informative,
By crewcutandnewt "crewcutandnewt" (Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tribes of the Person-centred Nation: A Guide to the Schools of Therapy Associated with the Person-centred Approach (Paperback)
I bought this primarily to help with an essay I had to write on PCC and to get an overview for the more recent developments stemming from Rogerian counselling.
It's clear, well written and nicely broken down into chapters. It was a pleasure to read (unlike many textbooks). The references are good and there are lots of useful pointers for further reading. I wasn't disappointed. It contains an excellent overview of the development of person centred counselling. For me, however, the biggest plus was that it put this in context. As a student, I had heard a lot about Rogers. This book, however, allowed me to get an overview on how the person centred approach has developed since and some of the controversies within the approach (and which beg the question what is PCC?) In particular, I found the final chapter on Integrative approaches useful and thought-provoking. I'm a first year student and (rather naively) I'd never seriously questioned how someone can practice a person-centred approach and also work psycho-dynamically. This book took me beyond a superficial disdain for a "pick and mix" approach to therapy, and made me think about how the underlying theoretical framework should determine not only practice, but how we are.
