Reviews

For many years Bor and Watt's Handbook serves as the best entry point to counseling, counseling psychology, and psychotherapy training for students embarking on the journey. This new edition again thoroughly covers relevant topics and issues, is well-updated and offers plenty of practical and valuable tips to students. I highly recommend it as the book to have when starting your training! -- Dr. Ladislav Timulak I welcome this fourth edition which will continue to function as a key support for trainees as they navigate their way through a range of professional issues and course requirements. There are some important updates in this edition, and a review of many key topics that span philosophical, theoretical, ethical and practical matters. In my view, an excellent and timely resource. -- Prof. Vanja Orlans I found the Trainee Handbook really useful for the students that I work with. It is well set out from setting the scene to future job role as a counsellor. I'm aware that it isn't necessarily for Level 2 students but some aspects are and the students found them to be very useful. Some specific headings that are used in counselling may help such as contracting. -- Baljeet Singh Gill
