Thoroughly updated to reflect the latest trends in theory and practice, this this substantially revised and extended edition is the most in-depth and wide-ranging textbook available on person-centred psychotherapy and counselling. Divided into four parts, it examines the theoretical, philosophical and historical foundations of the person-centred approach; the fundamental principles of person-centred practice and applications of person-centred practice; how person-centred conceptualisations and practices can be applied to groups of clients who bring particular issues to therapy; and, finally, professional issues for person-centred therapists, such as ethics, supervision and training. The person-centred point of view has something important and unique to offer to both the understanding of psychopathology and the practice of therapy... This book does a marvellous job of spelling this out and bringing person-centred theory up to date.’

About the contributors

This important book goes a long way towards building a bridge between the worldview of the client-centred therapist and that of a practitioner grounded in the so-called ‘medical model’. From various conceptual frames to a novel way of seeing one’s collaborative role, Person-Centred Psychopathology uses both broad brush-strokes and detailed consideration of the multiple issues to paint a picture of a profession that can be both collaborative and mutually-respectful. Whether you are a practitioner who wishes to form a balanced ‘narrative’ about the profession’s shared goals or a sceptical observer who finds the ‘multiple perspectives’ worldview hard to swallow, this book is for you. Providing the reader with well-articulated conceptualisations of internationally-renowned person-centred thinkers, this multi-contributor reference gives a solid and balanced overview which is of increasing relevance to the profession.
