comprehensive account of current counselling and psychotherapy
practice. Working alongside Buddhists in Thailand, Richard Nelson
Jones provides suggestions for living more fully, and suggests a

`A very informative and useful book for religious practitioners and
others' - Reverend John Butt, Director, Institute for the Study of
Religion and Culture, Payap University, Thailand `Richard
Nelson-Jones is one of the few scholars with the erudition and
breadth of experience necessary to link Christian and Buddhist
traditions in the helping professions. This is much more than old
wine in new bottles, and this book will introduce counsellors and
therapists to new and better ways of understanding and helping the
clients we treat' - Danny Wedding, Missouri Institute of Mental
Health Cognitive Humanistic Therapy describes a new approach to
psychotherapy and self-development, based on an understanding of
what it means to be "fully human". In a unique integration of
theory and practice, the book synthesises ideas from the cognitive
and humanistic domains of psychotherapy and the religious worlds of
Buddhism and Christianity. Written by bestselling author, Richard
Nelson-Jones, Cognitive Humanistic Therapy explores the idea of
being 'fully human' as a central goal of human existence, one which
has traditionally been the province of religion. In this book, he
examines ways in which psychotherapy and personal practice can help
individuals develop in both their capacity to reason and their
capacity to love. Beginning with the theoretical underpinnings of
the Cognitive Humanistic perspective, the book goes on to show how
clients can become equipped with the skills to tackle negative
reactions and develop positive attributes such as goodwill,
gratitude, compassion, equanimity, generosity, helping and service.
This book presents a powerful new interpretation of the role of
psychotherapy, which will be of interest to psychotherapists,
counsellors, their clients, and also to religious people.
