Person-Centred Counselling Training

Person-centered counseling requires more trainingùand a greater intensity of trainingùthan most other mainstream counseling approaches, but until now no one book has concentrated solely on the principles, practices, and requirements of training counselors within the person-centered approach. Author Dave Mearns, one of Britain s leading person-centered trainers and the co-author of the best-selling Person-Centered Counseling in Action, has expressly written this book for both trainees and trainers and has drawn on, and illustrated, the lived experiences of both. The book will also be useful for person-centered practitioners because it extends and develops current thinking within the approach. Accessible and practical, the material covered includes selecting and supporting trainers, selecting course members, skills development, supervision, and other professional issuesùall essential features of all counselor training, but of particular relevance to the person-centered approach.
