Skills in Counselling & Psychotherapy is a series of practical guides for trainees and practitioners. Each book takes one of the main approaches to therapeutic work and describes the core skills and techniques used within that approach. By looking at skills specific to the different theoretical approaches, this series is ideal for use on a range of courses that prepare the trainee to work directly with clients. This book introduces the concepts and skills of the person-centred approach used at each stage of the therapeutic process. This Fourth Edition has been updated to reflect changes in the field over recent years, and includes new content on empathy and fragile process, confidentiality and working within diversity and difference; and updated Further Reading and case examples.
