Product Description

Product Description

In Women Writing in the Person-Centred Approach, Irene Fairhurst has compiled an international anthology of person-centred writings by women. In the field of counselling and psychotherapy, on person-centred training courses, women outnumber men by about eight to one, yet in our literature the opposite is the case. This book both redresses that balance and presents the reader with a uniquely themed collection of work in the person-centred tradition. From the distinguished practitioners to the yet-to-be-famous, the contributors present a refreshing range of chapters.


About the Author

Irene Fairhurst is co-founder and past President of the British Association for the Person-Centred Approach (BAPCA). Born in 1941, she left her seaside home at the age of 17 to live in a community in East London where she became a volunteer youth worker and later full-time youth and community worker. It was through her work with young people that she became aware of counselling and the person-centred approach as a way of being. Her further involvement in the work includes co-founding the Institute for Person-Centred Learning (IPCL) and working with Carl Rogers in Europe and the UK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book on Person-Centred Counselling, 28 May 2001
By A Customer
I would recommend anybody who is studying person-centred counselling to buy this book, it is invaluable.

I particularly like the writing on the core conditions, in each case the contributor goes far beyond the normal theory to explain their experiences in practice. The opening contribution by Jane Bingham on Unconditional Positive Regard, is masterly.

I also very much liked Sue Wilders sharing of her experience in working with substance users. In writing about doubts that are cast on trusting the client, Wilder's words will remain with me a long time "It is not my job, nor necessarily my prerogative to know what that value it"

I would recommend Person-Centred Counsellors (and any others) to keep this book close at hand.
