Recent Product Reviews:

I really like this book, as will my students. Theory is clearly explained and the practice examples bring the concepts alive beautifully. Very readable.
Ms Sally Riggall, School of Health & Social Care, Lincoln University
This new edition to the book provides a significant contribution to supporting those in the caring professions to nurture and develop those in need.
Professor Sir Cary Cooper, University of Manchester and former President of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy
Highly readable and with a welcome focus on psycho-education, the themes and principles in this gem of a book are as relevant to the coach and the enquiring client as they are to the CBT therapist.
Mary Watts, Emeritus Professor of Psychology - City, University of London
