The reader will be left both grateful and hungry for more' - British Journal of Guidance and Counselling 'The discussion of empathy, acceptance and congruence is central and should be required reading for all trainees working to understand the richness of these core concepts...outstanding' - Counselling and Psychotherapy, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy 'Without doubt the clearest description of the person-centred approach to counselling that I have read, apart from Carl Rogers' own writings.

I felt that I had got to know both Dave Mearns and Brian Thorne through their offering the reader their own congruence and I found this aspect of the book at times quite moving' - Social Work Today 'Gives real insight into person-centred counselling...This is a gentle book; an absolute delight to read (I couldn't put it down) as it held me in the realm of my own feelings. I would like to thank both authors for sharing so much of their intimate selves.I recommend this book to trainee counsellors, trained counsellors, clients and those involved in the helping professions. It is a book that has influenced me and that I would not want to be without' - BPS Counselling Psychology Review 'Excellent "all rounder" for practitioners to learn and build upon counselling skills with young offenders' - lecturer, Guidance, Youth and Youth Justice, Nottingham Trent University 'An excellent text.
