Brief Person-Centred Therapies PCT (Brief Therapies Series)
Author(s): Edited by Keith Tudor
Can the person-centred approach work in time-limited psychotherapy and counselling? This is a question that many practitioners grapple with as demand for brief therapy increases - particularly in the public sector. Brief Person-Centred Therapies is the first book to tackle the subject, bringing together the experience and insights of a leading international team of person-centred therapists. The book examines the philosophical and theoretical 'fit' between the person-centred approach and brief therapy. It also explores the issues which arise when working briefly in a range of different settings, including primary care, higher education, business, and prison, with couples and groups. Brief Person-Centred Therapies is essential reading for all person-centred trainees and for practitioners who want to work in services where brief or time-limited work is required or favoured. "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. "A wide-ranging and scholarly book which shows that person-centred therapy is fully alive to the challenges of the twenty-first century and is breaking new ground both clinically and theoretically" --Professor Brian Thorne, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of East Anglia. "Likely to be of interest to anyone involved in counselling" --Times Higher Educaton Magazine, May 2009.
