- Janet Tolan - Consultant, private practice
- Paul Wilkins - Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
This is the first humanistic counseling book to bring together commonly occurring client issues, exploring the origin and meaning of the difficulty, the therapeutic approach and process, and the outcomes. Extensive case material guides you through the nuances and potential pitfalls towards effective practice with clients experiencing, for example;
- Drug and Alcohol Issues
- Eating difficulties
- Self harm
- Childhood Sexual Abuse
- Post Traumatic Stress
- Depression
- Panic and Anxiety
Drawing from a combined 50 years of experience in the field, Paul Wilkins and Janet Tolan bring together leading person-centered therapists to address how and why each problem can be eased by means of working with the person. This book should be on the desk of every counseling trainee, and is recommended reading for other practitioners of health and social care working with these client groups.
Helpful for answering trainees questions and stimulating class discussion about the types of issues clients bring to therapy.
An essential read and reference point for those students on a Person-Centred programme of study and of relevance to those undertaking trainings in other orientations which take account of the person-centred perspective.
As always Janet Tolan really delivers. This is an insightful, thoughfu provoking book. it is essential reading for all person centred counsellors.
another excellent book by Janet tolan. The case studies are brillant.
This book looks as some key client issues that are seen by counsellors, it is accessible and up to date, and contains useful case examples.
So helpful to look at this material from the person-centred perspective.
Good addition to person-centred training library, with a concise introduction to theory and a diversity of writers on client issues in practice.
