Brief Person-Centred Therapies

`A wide-ranging and scholarly book which shows that person-centred therapy is fully alive to the challenges of the 21st century and is breaking new ground both clinically and theoretically. It demolishes convincingly and authoritatively the common criticisms that the approach can only serve an articulate middle-class and is ill-suited to brief and focused work′ - Professor Brian Thorne, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of East Anglia

`This is a book that the person-centered psychotherapy community has been waiting for...this book opens a creative space in which the ongoing conversation about therapeutic efficacy in times of shrinking resources can be successfully engaged′ - Professor Maureen O′Hara, Chair, Department of Psychology, National University, La Jolla, California

An excellent, much needed book which demonstrates Person centred does not have to be a long process. Brilliant. -- Miss Caroline Gilchrist * drupal *
Excellent resource. Essential reading for Person Centred therapists and trainees alike. The answer to that frequent comment - "but PCA is not relevant in today′s world". This is yet more proof that it is!" -- Miss Caroline Gilchrist * drupal *
An informative guide to using the Person Centred Approach in a time limited way. A book that I believe will become more and more relevant, as practitioners are progressively required to work in a time limited way. -- Miss Lyndise Tarbuck * drupal *
This timely book gives, as the title suggests, a thorough account of contemporary thinking in this area of counselling. -- Mr Haydn Tomlinson * drupal *
A useful text that provides a framing of what many consider an open ended or long term modality, into a time focussed/brief way of working. It offers solutions to the challenges of working this way, and is clearly presented. There are chapters on contextualised practice that allow the reader to relate to actual practice. -- Mr Mike Bancroft * drupal *
Dear SAGE, I have found this book very concise and informative. It provides an economical context to the advent of brief therapies and provides informative perspectives on the construct of time. It conveys realistically the notion that time itself is not the issue, but how it can be most effectively utilised to provide quality in therapeutic practice.
