This book provides a comprehensive, accessible and
research-informed approach to personal development issues
associated with the role of a counsellor, therapist or mental
health practitioner. Written by leading authors in the field, the
book is designed to help both trainees and experienced therapists
to be more effective in their work with clients by: Deepening and
consolidating their understanding of all aspects of personal and
professional developmentMaking use of their personal strengths,
resources and life experience Drawing on colleagues, mentors and
the wider professional community as sources of learning, support
and inspiration. The first part of the book explains the nature of
the personal and professional development issues that are
experienced by therapists. The second part provides a set of
learning tasks that invite reflection on all aspects of therapist
development."This engaging and accessible book reminds us that,
like our clients, counsellors are works in progress. Through its 10
lively chapters, John McLeod and Julia McLeod take us on a
compelling journey of self-discovery. En route, they invite us to
press the pause button and reflect on our lives in all their messy
complexity ... Although written primarily for trainee counsellors,
there is much here for the experienced therapist, supervisor, group
leader or counselling course trainer to admire and to learn from."
Therapy Today, July 2014"John and Julia McLeod have written a
superb text that not only presents a strong and coherent case for
the importance of personal development for therapists, but also
provides a range of activities to stimulate the reader's own
reflective development process. A scholarly examination of the
developmental path of the practitioner which is firmly grounded in
research, this book is a rich personal development resource for
students, practitioners and lecturers." Mark Widdowson, Lecturer in
Counselling and Psychotherapy, University of Salford, UK"This is a
great resource textbook for trainee practitioners, trainers,
supervisors in counselling, psychotherapy and mental health - and
for anyone interested in personal and professional development in
the helping professions. The breadth and depth of John and Julia
McLeod's encyclopaedic knowledge is evident in this book. Wise
sages indeed, they offer 'voices of wisdom and reason' for those
entering the helping professions. Their guidance will help still
the inner angst that is an inevitable part of practitioner training
and working as a helper. The book offers an excellent resource for
counselling, psychotherapy and mental health trainers, with rich
resources to inform student and tutor work. I highly recommend this
valuable addition to the resource and knowledge base." Lynne
Gabriel, Associate Professor, York St John University, UK"A
fantastic book! This is a comprehensive, engaging and valuable
resource that integrates theory and research in an accessible and
relevant way. This book approaches a complex and often poorly
articulated facet of professional training both practically and
effectively. The personal learning tasks bring an added dimension
to the book, inviting the reader on a journey of self-discovery and
challenge.This book has relevance for a broad range of
psychotherapeutic orientations and mental health roles and is an
essential read for practitioners at all stages of their
professional journey." Steff Revell, Lecturer, Counselling and
Psychotherapy, University of Cumbria, UK"This book offers an
invaluable resource for counselling trainers and students alike. It
succinctly maps out the terrain of personal and professional
development and the importance of these concepts for practice. As a
counselling trainer, I found the exercises and learning tasks
contained in the book an excellent source of ideas for encouraging
student reflection. As a practitioner, it reminded me of the
importance of attending to my own 'stuff', of the continuing
process of learning to be more in touch with my flawed humanity
such that I can be more available to my clients." Brian Rodgers,
Lecturer in Counselling, The University of Queensland, Australia
