Nelson-Jones' Theory and Practice of Counselling and Psychotherapy
- Richard Nelson-Jones - Fellow of the British Psychological Society and of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
This sixth edition provides an essential introduction to the major theoretical approaches in counselling and psychotherapy today. Comprehensive and accessible, it now includes two brand new chapters on Mindfulness and Positive Therapy, as well as additional content on ethics, on new developments in each approach, including the latest research and updated references.
Following a clearly-defined structure, each chapter describes the origin of the therapeutic approach, a biography of its originator, its theory and practice, discusses case material and further developments, and suggests further reading. Each chapter also contains review and personal questions. Richard Nelson-Jones' authoritative and practical textbook is the ideal companion for students on introductory courses and those embarking on professional training.
The new edition retains the original clarity of writing and refreshing experience-near qualities which made it stand out from its competitors, and has been updated in light of new research findings in relation to problems of living in an information-age. It is an excellent resource for trainees and educators both.
This is an excellent text as evidenced by it being a 6th edition. It is very comprehensive and an appropriate core text for anyone studying to be a therapist or psychologist. Strongly recommended.

this is used as part of the supervision aspect of my module. The considerations around mindfulness very very useful.
An excellent text and recommended to undergraduate students in Social Sciences. It offers an excellent account of key theories and skills in a range of therapeutic disciplines. Highly recommended for teaching
An engaging, accessible and user-friendly guide to research. Although not applicable to all in my current cohort, I will recommend this to particular students, and as supplemental reading for those interested in research practice.
Good to have a new edition of this classic text.
