Beautifully written and richly illustrated with clinical vignettes ... A gem of a book carried through with rigour and love. Maria Luca, Reader in Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology, Regent's University, London, UK It is my pleasure to endorse a textbook that has been so widely used within the field of counselling. John McLeod's Introduction to Counselling has influenced so many budding counsellors in the past (myself included) and I have no doubt that this updated edition will continue adding to this legacy. It has been updated to account for new developments in the field and remains an informed and accessible point of reference. Terry Hanley, Editor of Counselling Psychology Review and Programme Director of the Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, University of Manchester, UK This latest edition of John McLeod's Introduction to Counselling is a masterpiece, weaving theory and practice in a readable and comprehensive manner. Practical examples and case studies, along with the latest research, address the many contemporary issues facing students and professionals in the field. The additional chapters including 'Art-making as a therapeutic practice', 'Therapy in nature', 'The interdisciplinary knowledge base for counselling theory and practice' and 'Pluralism: an organizing framework for counselling practice', are essential reading not only for counsellors in training, but also for practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding and enhance their on-going professional development. John McLeod's vast experience and wisdom, which he brings to his writing, makes this work one of the best textbooks available, and I highly recommend it and will certainly use it in our training programmes.

  • Pricey but a lot of useable info

    This book is pricey but there is a lot of useable data and information in there. I am studying HNC Counselling and was recommended this book by a tutor. My class did get access to the online version but I struggled to get to grips with it so opted for the paper version. So far I’ve used it for almost every unit
