Recenzii

It takes considerable skill and years of experience to write such a detailed, yet accessible introduction to the exciting, complex and dynamic profession of counselling and psychotherapy.



Sally Aldridge has produced something remarkable here; this is a text which delivers insightful discussion on the development, nature and scope of counselling in a clear, compelling and accessible fashion.

This book gives an impressive, comprehensive introduction to the world of counselling [...] Aldridge's passion for counselling - 'the best job there is' - enthuses new practitioners, as well as giving a compact overview of the field for those in practice. Trainers could adopt some of the ideas for activities. Additionally research findings are skilfully intertwined, making this a useful starting point for therapists undertaking research. Overall the book will appeal to those with professional curiosity, as there is a wealth of authoritative information within its pages, gained from Aldridge's varied career and her years working for BACP.    
The topics of training, research, ethics and career development, in particular, are handled in an in-depth, comprehensive and insightful manner. The exercises provided at the end of each chapter can serve to challenge students of counselling and help them develop critical thinking skills. The research studies presented in every chapter enhance the credibility of what has been written. The examples presented throughout the book not only make reading interesting, but can help the student identify with and understand more clearly what has been presented.
