Críticas:

"Paul Wilkins has authored an excellent book. It will be useful to counselling students, practitioners and scholars. He has captured the essence of Person Centred Therapy and explains it simply and clearly whilst at the same time raising issues that are thought-provoking, sometimes controversial but always extending of our understanding of theory and practice." - Dr Maggie Robson, Senior Lecturer and Director of Counselling Studies, School of Psychology, Keele University, UK

"This book provides in-depth discussions on Rogers' ideas and shows how PCA (Person Centred Approach) is being applied in health, social and voluntary sectors, and is being introduced into mental health work... The style of the book encourages you to dip in and out, to read from cover to cover, or to use it as a refresher. It has many applications and I believe it is an essential book that will be a useful addition to the bookshelves of anyone interested in person-centred therapy." - Corinne Harris, The Independent Practitioner, Spring 2010

"I believe many if not all of the points could certainly be used as a basis for discussion
in groups or exploration as part of personal development; I wish this book had been around when I was training, but I certainly feel benefit can be gained from it at any stage of your career." - Sarah Lewis, Person-Centred Quarterly, February 2012

Reseña del editor:

Person-centred therapy, based on the ideas of the eminent psychotherapist Carl Rogers, is widely practised in the UK and throughout the world. It has applications in health and social care, the voluntary sector and is increasingly relevant to work with people who are severely mentally and emotionally distressed. This book offers a comprehensive overview and presents the core theories, advances and practices of the approach in a concise, accessible form.

Person-Centred Therapy: 100 Key Points begins with a consideration of the principles and philosophy underpinning person-centred therapy before moving to a comprehensive discussion of the classic theory upon which practice is based.

Further areas of discussion include:

• the model of the person, including the origins of mental and emotional distress
• the process of constructive change
• a review of revisions and advances in person-centred theory
• child development, styles of processing and configurations of self
• the quality of presence and working at relational depth.

Finally criticisms of the approach are addressed and rebutted, leading readers to the wider person-centred literature. As such this book will be particularly useful to students and scholars of person-centred therapy, as well as anyone who wants to know more about one of the major therapeutic modalities.
