About the Book

A comprehensive introduction to current issues in the theory and practice of counselling. It covers all the core approaches to counselling in full: psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, person-centred and integrative. The author takes a critical, questioning approach to issues of professional practice, including training and supervision, the organization of counselling agencies, ethical dilemmas, cross-cultural counselling and the role of research. Paying particular attention to social and cultural influences on counselling, such as the impact of feminism, McLeod argues that counselling should be regarded as an interdisciplinary area of study, drawing on philosophy, religion and the arts as well as psychology. The book aims to be of interest to experienced counsellors wishing to consolidate their knowledge base, as well as to those seeking a secure intellectual foundation at the beginning of their counselling careers.

Table of Contents:
What is counselling? - the cultural origins of contemporary practice; from Freud to brief therapy - themes and issues in the psychodynamic approach to counselling; the origins and development of the cognitive-behavioural approach; theory and practice of the person-centred approach; understanding theoretical diversity - brand names and special ingredients; combining approaches - issues in integration and eclecticism; discrimination, disadvantage and difference in counselling; the organizational context of counselling; alternative modes of delivery; morals, values and ethics in counselling practice; the role of research in counselling and therapy; the skills and qualities of the effective counsellor; training and supervision in counselling.
