Reviews
`At the risk of being directive, I would say you should buy this book. It contains some of the most stimulating and refreshing ideas to have emerged in the person-centred literature since On Becoming a Person '- Person-Centred Practice
`This book is a "must have" for all person-centred therapists and for trainers and therapistsin other approaches who are genuinely interested in wanting to understand more about person-centred therapy in the 21st century. It is a book to be proud of, and describes innovations in model that all person-centred therapists can feel proud to be associated with' - British Journal of Guidance & Counselling
`This is a book that is rooted in the origins of person-centred therapy but stands at the cutting edge of new ideas developing in this tradition. It will reinvigorate those of us already immersed in this tradition. It should convince newcomers of the vitality and potential of this approach to therapy' - Tim Bond, University of Bristol
