Description
Book SynopsisMcQuaid provides an in-depth but accessible guide to understanding individual motivations for wanting to undertake training and to choosing a course.
Trade Review‘…in my experience, too many potential trainees or students enter therapy training with very little and, in some cases, no knowledge of the field and these aspects or elements of the whole training experience. This book addresses this lack of knowledge and brings together in one volume a thorough consideration of all the components of such training …’ – Keith Tudor, from the foreword.
'If you are seriously considering training for a career in counselling or psychotherapy, and if you are looking for a reliable, accurate and unbiased guide through the sometimes bewildering choice of modalities, training providers and accreditation systems, then Cathy McQuaid’s book should be your first port of call. The author has researched the views and responses of real-life students to their experiences during training, as well as collecting information directly from training providers and professional organisations. McQuaid not only describes the factual detail of training, but also (and I think uniquely) invites the reader to explore the personal preferences, abilities and attitudes that may help determine her or his choice of training course.' - Ian Stewart, PhD, Co-Director of The Berne Institute, Nottingham.
