PCCS Books Embracing Nondirectivity: Reassessing Person-centred Theory and Practice in the 21st Century
Non-directivity is the distinguishing feature of the revolutionary, anti-authoritarian approach to psychotherapy and human relations developed by Carl Rogers. The book brings together an impressive international collection of person-centered writers, each exploring an important facet of non-directivity as it relates to person-centered theory and practice. Their contributions examine the history, theory, applications, and implications of the non-directive attitude. Non-directivity emerges in these pages as a way of being that remains vital and highly relevant to the practice of person-centered therapy, other person-centered applications, and psychotherapy in general.

PCCS Books Questioning Psychology: Beyond theory and control
What gets in the way of our understanding other people? So asks psychologist Brian Levitt in this challenging and reflective book questioning much that is taken for granted in his profession. Levitt argues that we must keep questioning our training and beliefs if we are to see people better. Here, he deconstructs the foundational concepts of psychology and, drawing on his 25 years as a person-centred practitioner in a range of settings, helps us to look at them with fresh eyes. His book offers both young and more seasoned psychologists a refreshing alternative to conventional clinical texts with its message to look beyond theory and control and respect the complexity of the people we meet in our work.

PCCS Books Reflections on Human Potential: Bridging the Person-centred Approach and Positive Psychology
A basic trust in the individual is at the heart of the person-centred approach. This trust is reflected in the radical ethical stance of non-directivity and in the theoretical construct of the actualising tendency. In this companion volume to his well-received Embracing Non-Directivity, Brian Levitt once again brings together an impressive international collection of person-centred writers. The actualising tendency serves here as a catalyst for a diverse and thought-provoking collection of essays, each reflecting on various aspects of human potential within the context of person-centred theory and practice. These essays, while shedding further light on the person-centred approach, also build bridges to the emerging discipline of positive psychology.
