`This book presents contrasting views of the relationship between the counsellor, or therapist, and the client, as held by practioners from diverse theoretical orientations. Each chapter clarifies and considers the elements of the counselling relationship which have the most bearing on therapeutic practice and the strengths of each are highlighted in terms of understanding, theory and skills' - New Therapist `This book is a timely contribution to the debate regarding what makes counselling work as we are forced to consider by purchasers and purveyors of counselling the efficacy of what we offer.... The book has a house style that makes it clear and accessible in the field and raises some interesting and thought-provoking issues' - British Journal of Guidance & Counselling
