Counselling and Personality

This text is intended to help introduce students in the helping professions to the major theoretical positions influencing contemporary counselling.

The book's main focus is on individual counselling rather than on couples, family or group counselling.

Chapters cover person-centred counselling, existential counselling, logotherapy, behavioural counselling, social-cognitive theory, rational-emotive counselling, psychoanalysis, career development and lifeskills counselling.

An emphasis on the links between theory and practice is made throughout the text.
