Reviews

In his foreword to the book, Professor Dave Mearns writes: There are precious few texts explicitly about person-centred counselling training and those which are written by trainers must be regarded with the appropriate suspicion that they may be offering a gloss on events. This book is written for trainees, therefore it must be read by trainers. Nor should they feel apprehensive about the prospect, for the critique offered by their former trainees is both balanced and considerate as well as insightful. Also, many parts of the book cover areas where the trainer has no direct experience, such as the moving section on the impact of the training experience upon relations with peers, partners and parents ... Some counselling trainers might be apprehensive about this book - it is possible that it may deter some prospective trainees. My own view is that, hopefully, this will be the case.
