ABSTRACT

The Living Therapy series aims to offer the reader an opportunity to experience and to appreciate, through the use of dialogue, some of the diverse and challenging issues that can arise during counselling. People remark on how readable these books are, how much they bring the therapeutic process alive and the timeliness of a series focusing on the application of the person-centred approach to working therapeutically with clients having specific issues. In particular, students of counselling and psychotherapy have commented on how accessible the text is. This is particularly heartening. I want the style to draw people into the narrative and feel engaged with the characters and the therapeutic process. I want this series to be what I would term 'an experiential read'.
