Enhanced by current debates around neuroscience, third wave CBT therapies such as ACT and mindfulness, motivational interviewing, reality therapy and embedded counselling, this new edition now also explores key counselling skills and techniques, and provides much stronger coverage of key practice issues. An Introduction to Counselling and Psychotherapy remains the book of choice for students and tutors on introductory counselling and psychotherapy courses.
