Reader's comments: `Then along comes your book - lands on my desk
like a gift, which I have barely put down since. It stopped me
searching for external answers, helped me to dig into the
knowledge, philosophy and way of working which already existed in
me. I draw on it all the time for inspiration and a way of
grounding me in the tentative moments of working towards a delicate
connection with the families I encounter. I have a lot to be
thankful to you for - I have now developed a way of working which
seems helpful and which enables those around me to find a way
forward, but perhaps most of all I finally feel comfortable and
free to be the same counsellor I am with individuals - Hurrah!' -
Kim Barber, Counsellor Lecturers' comments: 'A fascinating book
which combines couple counselling with person-centred counselling.
Will be recommended reading for social work students working with
couple relationships' 'Very readible. Useful for students of
counselling beyomd the 'title' focus of couples and families' `The
only book on couple and family counselling from the person-centred
approach' `This book is unique in its articulation of family
therapy and the person-centred approach. It is also engaging in the
way couples and the families come to life through Charlie O'Leary's
acute and sensitive observation. It is an essential text in any
person-centred therapy library'- Dave Mearns, University of
Strathclyde `Compelling reading... I liked this book. It is
intelligent, thought-provoking, occasionally funny and a delight to
read. I warmed to the author's passion for the work of Carl
Rogers.... All Relate counsellors will find something of value -
even the strict psychodynamic practitioners' - Relate News `The
author deserves congratulations on his easy, readable style. This
will ensure that the book will be read, rather than simply browsed
by many' - Sexual and Relationship Therapy `Provides a very good
introduction for counsellors in working with families.' - British
Journal of Guidance & Counselling `In this highly readable
text, the theory and practice of counselling couples and families
are successfully integrated with principles from the
Rogerian/person-centred approach. In this sense the book is unique:
although a lot of counsellors in fact practice relational therapy
from a person-centred perspective, until now, no basic text was
available in this field' - Alfons Vansteenwegen, INTAMS Review In
this unique book, the theory and practice of counselling couples
and families are integrated with principles from the person-centred
approach. With numerous examples from actual sessions, the book
clearly illustrates the key issues that couples and families face,
and the ways in which the counsellor can help them to resolve these
to their own satisfaction. Written primarily from the viewpoint of
working with couples and families, issues specific to relational
counselling are contrasted to those that arise when counselling
individuals or non-related groups. The author then explores the
process of relational counselling using the person-centred
principles of empathy, congruence, unconditional positive regard
and non-interference with the clients' actualizing tendency.
