Published in association with the British Association for Counselling A comprehensive and stimulating reader, Counseling draws together key material that has been published in Counselling, the journal of the British Association for Counselling, over the past few years. Combining accessible research studies with professional and personal reflections, the reader presents a diverse and authoritative range of articles to cover the central aspects of counseling, including therapeutic approaches; contexts and practice; social, professional, and ethical issues; research; and future trends. Counseling provides direct access to the main theories, practices, and issues that underpin and continue to shape the development of counseling and, in addition, offers an opportunity for reflection on the status and relevance of the counseling field today. This substantive volume brings integral information as well as a sense of the texture of counseling to not only the counseling student but also the experienced professional.

The Development of the British Association for Counselling

`The Reader reflects some of the best work published in Counselling, the Journal of the British Association for Counselling, over the past 15 years. The choice of articles also gives a historical perspective on the development of counselling in Britain... provides many hours of interesting reading and a wealth of learned experience all in one volume. I can see this book becoming recommended reading for counsellor training programmes' - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review

`A huge undertaking and a great success... There are many good things here, and this book is strongly recommended' - Self & Society

`The development of Counselling... is so well illustrated... an interesting book... its component papers are short and can be read free-standing. It would also be a useful addition to libraries where students of counselling are looking for support or challenge for an argument. And, for members of BAC, it is a reminder of the breadth and complexity of the unfolding task of counsellors and their Association' - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling

This is an excellent resource for trainers and will inform teaching across a wide variety of subjects.
