Lisbeth Sommerbeck

Therapist Limits in Person-Centred Therapy (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It is surprising that there is very little in the client-centred literature about therapist limits in counselling and psychotherapy with adult clients.This provides the rationale for this book as it attempts to redress that omission, offers a review of the existing literature and provides a starting point for discussion.
