Brief Person-Centred Therapies

Edited by:


June 2008 | 216 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Can the person-centred approach work in time-limited counselling and psychotherapy?

This is a question that many practitioners grapple with as demand for brief therapy increases - particularly in the public sector. Brief Person-Centred Therapies is the first book to tackle the subject, bringing together the experience and insights of a leading international team of person-centred specialists.

The book examines the "theoretical fit" between the person-centred approach and brief therapy. It also explores the issues which arise when working briefly in a range of different settings, including primary care, higher education and business.

Brief Person-Centred Therapies is essential reading for all person-centered trainees and for practitioners who want to work in services where brief work is called for.

Epilogue

An excellent, much needed book which demonstrates Person centred does not have to be a long process. Brilliant.

In language easily accessible and appropriate for undergraduate students, I found the book engaging. Discussion regarding the efficacy of Person Centred Counselling used in time limited ways is wholly relevant and current in today's climate.

This timely book gives, as the title suggests, a thorough account of contemporary thinking in this area of counselling.
