Bøger i The Primers in Counselling Series serien

In this latest addition to the best-selling 'Primers in Counselling' series, one of UK's foremost therapy authors outlines the why, what and how of single-session counselling and the evidence that supports it.

The Existential Counselling Primer is a concise summary of the philosophical origins of existentialist therapy and existentialist understandings of what it is to be human, and how both inform the theory and practice of existential counselling. This 2nd edition is revised and updated to include recent developments in thinking, research and practice.

This latest addition to the Primers in Counselling series offers an introduction to rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT). REBT therapists seek to help their clients identify, examine and change the rigid and extreme attitudes that underpin their emotional problems, and to develop alternative flexible and non-extreme alternative attitudes.

In this updated introduction to CBT, three of its foremost proponents and practitioners summarise its origins, principles, how it works in practice, and the research that underpins its widespread use. This second, revised edition updates the research and includes the third and fourth 'waves' of cognitive behaviour approaches.

This revised and extended second edition offers a comprehensive description of the history, theory and practice of focusing-oriented counselling - how and why it 'works', the debates around it, what it brings to the counsellor's primary mode of practice, and the evidence to support it.
