Summary

This thoroughly revised and expanded version of the bestselling text, An Introduction to Counselling, provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of counseling and therapy. It is written in a clear, accessible style, covers all the core approaches to counseling, and takes a critical, questioning approach to issues of professional practice. Placing each counseling approach in its social and historical context, the book also introduces a wide range of contemporary approaches, including narrative therapy, systemic, feminist and multicultural. This third edition includes a new chapter on the important emerging approach of philosophical counseling, and a chapter on the counseling relationship, as well as expanded coverage of attachment theory, counseling on the internet, and solution-focused therapy. The text has been updated throughout, with additional illustrative vignettes and case studies. Current, comprehensive and readable, An Introduction to Counselling is a classic introduction to its subject.
