Abstract

`What this brilliant book does so well is to produce not just the evidence for the research effectiveness of therapies but makes the moral case for bringing together human psychological welfare needs and the expanding number of skilled, ethically sensitive people ready to listen to and respond in the most deeply human and needed way - the counsellors and all who work as psychological therapists. I strongly recommend this book' - Graham Curtis Jenkins, Counselling in Practice

`There is much here to stir up the reluctant practitioner to explain themselves and their practice more ably and, better still, to promote and defend our profession' - The Revd John Eatock, Healthcare, Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal
