`The Reader reflects some of the best work published in Counselling, the Journal of the British Association for Counselling, over the past 15 years. The choice of articles also gives a historical perspective on the development of counselling in Britain... provides many hours of interesting reading and a wealth of learned experience all in one volume. I can see this book becoming recommended reading for counsellor training programmes′ - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review`A huge undertaking and a great success... There are many good things here, and this book is strongly recommended′ - Self & Society`The development of Counselling... is so well illustrated... an interesting book... its component papers are short and can be read free-standing. It would also be a useful addition to libraries where students of counselling are looking for support or challenge for an argument. And, for members of BAC, it is a reminder of the breadth and complexity of the unfolding task of counsellors and their Association′ - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling
