5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, 11 Jul 2003
By A Customer
I found this book by chance while looking for 2 books from the reading list of my diploma course, in order to critique them. I found this book a godsend. The assignments from the course can be a little daunting to say the least. After reading this book it all became clear and i started to grasp the theories easily. I mentioned it in class, it has aided my completion of several assignments and has since been added to our reading list...say no more.

5.0 out of 5 stars De-mystifier, 3 Oct 2007
While doing my counselling Diploma I became a bit bogged down with the many different theores and not having time to read all the books available for each one, with all the essays to do etc.
I found this book to be the one that explains all the main theories in a very clear and concise way, leading the reader to delve further into different therapies if they so wish.
It has easy to read language without too much counselling jargon, good illustrations and real life examples to demonstrate points made.
I would recommend this book for anyone either doing a counselling course themselves or considering which type of counselling might suit them personally.
An excellent starter book for all in this field.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book if you're or not a counsellor, 28 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This book is meant for everyone whether they intend to enter the counselling or need to learn social skills. It is well structure, is very well written using crisp language, has lots of case studies, has lots of discussion...etc.

Although I'm not a counsellor I found the book very interesting to read, it gave me insights to what counselling all about, and how to perceive others.
