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.
Keith Tudor is a UKCP registered psychotherapist, and has a private/independent practice in Sheffield offering therapy, supervision and consultancy.
An excellent, much needed book which demonstrates Person centred does not have to be a long process. Brilliant.
In language easily accessible and appropriate for undergraduate students, I found the book engaging. Discussion regarding the efficacy of Person Centred Counselling used in time limited ways is wholly relevant and current in today's climate.
Adopted for module on time-limited and brief therapy
A slim volume, but a challenging read.
This timely book gives, as the title suggests, a thorough account of contemporary thinking in this area of counselling.
