Product Description

Review
`Each chapter has a key point pr[ac]ecis which acts as an excellent aide memoire. Throughout the book, the author includes snippets from actual case histories which elucidate his theme... Some of this book exposes new territory in person-centred counselling while other parts introduce the reader to the very latest issues tackled in intensive person-centred counselling training... This is a useful book for those who use person-centred counselling in their practice, or who are training to become person-centred counsellors' - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling

`Simply stated and reliable... each of the 30 chapters is brief, punchy, illustrated with examples and punctuated with a short summary box. The coverage of the book is broad... [it] is written for training and practising person-centred counsellors, for whom many of the issues covered will be personally and clinically relevant' - Clinical Psychology Forum

`I found myself fascinated, riveted by the accessibility of the prose and format, and, most importantly, splendidly re-engaged with the person-centred approach... The book will prove most useful to practitioners and students of the person-centred approach to counselling, but those from other orientations might also be agreeably surprised by its depth and by Mearns', dare I say, analytical approach to his subject. I found his style of writing intelligent and clearly set out and, whilst thoroughly academic, it included lots of good clinical evidence and cameos... there is nothing vague or highly idealised, but rather a set of clear thinking, rigorous chapters that make it a most worthwhile addition to the current counselling literature' - Self & Society

Crucial areas such as the therapeutic alliance and process, the development of the counsellor and the person-centred perspective in relation to psychopathology are examined in this volume.

An introduction focuses on the importance of training in depth, expressing caution about adopting the more advanced methods illustrated in the book without rigorous preparation, and provides a summary of the central features of person-centred counselling. Following on from this, the volume's 30 sections are organized into six categories, each of which will help practising counsellors improve their skills within the person-centred approach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for person-centred counsellors, 24 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This book is aimed at counsellors who have already undergone some training in the Person-Centred Approach and are familiar with applying PCA concepts to their work. If people have not yet read Person-Centred Counselling in Action by Dave Mearns I would recommend reading it first. The book covers a wide range of general areas in which PCA counsellors may develop, using examples and ideas for application. It also contains specific applications for PCA counsellors including sections I found very interesting on mental health from a PCA perspective and an interesting review matrix using interpersonal perspectives which I have found very effective with some clients.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you know what's going on..., 20 Oct 2007
By Constance Maloy (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
Though this book does provide many comprehensive answers to questions posed in the Person-centred approach, I agree with the previous review in that having some prior knowledge in the Person-Centred Approach is extremely helpful. Though the book is fairly self-explanatory, it does sometimes dip into specialist terms which led me to page-flicking through other books.

However, do not be worried. At the end of each chapter there is a small summary box which heads up all of the previous chapter neatly. Though a little research into PCA is suggested before reading this book, perhaps that's why it is called *Developing* Person-Centred Counselling. *grin*
