Description
Book Synopsis`The book is comprehensive, and extensively researched and referenced. .[The] last chapter contains some excellent training resources for trainers of counsellors/psychotherapists.

Both authors are experienced practitioners and trainers and their commitment to integrative counselling and psychotherapy shines through′ - AUCC Journal
