Media Reviews
The classic text - it is hard to envisage anyone training as a Christian Counsellor without reading it -- David Depledge, Chief Executive, The Association o 20020401 'The different therapies are here, too...if it has been around for more than a year Dr Hurding has read about it, explored it with a sort of critical sympathy, and got it down in the book.' -- Richard Holloway, Bishop of Edinburgh 20020401 'Roots & Shoots is a scholarly guide to counselling and psychotherapy in a form which is easy to read and likely to be thought-provoking to even the most biomedically-bound general practitioner. Roger Hurding has achieved a seemingly impossible task in a gentle, intelligent way and deserves to be congratulated.' -- Nigel Stott, Journal of the Royal College of Gener 20020401 This book is very helpful for a serious student of Christian counselling. -- Rosemary Green 20020501 'This book provides an important source of understanding both for the Christian psychotherapeutic theory and for the psychotherapist of the Christian response.' -- Louise Marteau, The British Journal of Psychiatry 20020501
