Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy
- Mick Cooper - University of Roehampton, UK
- John McLeod - University of Oslo, Norway
As accessible and engaging as ever, Cooper and McLeod argue that there is no one right way of doing therapy and that different clients need different things at different times. By identifying and demonstrating the application of a range of therapeutic methods, the book outlines a flexible framework for practice within which appropriate methods can be selected depending on the client's individual needs and the therapist's knowledge and experience.
This is a must-read for anybody training or practising in the counselling or helping professions - it should not be missed!
A fascinating book which really 'gets under the skin' of Counselling techniques and approaches to psychotherapy. A sensible critique and a forward-looking pluralistic approach is explained well.
whilst this book is not on our reading list I feel it is usful extra knowledge for trainee counsellors ( and qualified ones)
Mick Cooper writes in a style which is in keeping with the ethos of counselling, and the reader feels drawn into the text.
A new and interesting book. A valuable tool for students beginning to think about their therapy approach.
The content, structure and level of this text makes it an ideal addition for our course recommended reading list.
Wonderful book of great relevance to counselling psychology
This appraoch is provocatrive and interesting. This viewpoint is one that all students must acquaint themselves with as they consider their own clinical approach.
