Process Work in Person-Centred Therapy - Tapa blanda

'Breathtakingly wide-ranging' – Nick Baker, The Tribes of the Person-Centred Nation
 
'This book helps to fill out the growing field of the mainstream person-centred approach; it is a reader-friendly text that genuinely adds to the enquiry base of counsellors and therapists and deserves to find its way onto the reading lists of all integrative courses." - Colin Feltham, Therapy Today

This unique and important book breaks new ground in the theory and practice of person-centred psychotherapy by focusing on the issue of process.

Process belongs to both client and counsellor. Worsley conceptualises process in relation to the core principles of the person-centred approach but also to the humanistic and phenomenological roots of person-centred therapy. Combining academic rigour with the wisdom of an experienced clinical practitioner, he opens up a more inclusive and integrative way of being with clients that nonetheless chimes with classical person-centred principles.

The book features:

· Activities and vivid case studies to illustrate and expand on the theoretical points being developed, allowing the reader to see easily how these might apply to practice.
· Engagement with theoretical approaches such as transactional analysis and Gestalt, as well as discussion of philosophy, spirituality and psychopathology.
· New discussion of the processes involved in mental illness, drawing on the work of Prouty and Warner to understand the client's world of experiencing.
· New material on the plural self and configurations of the self.
