Media Reviews
`explores important issues of interest to any adviser who likes to reflect on how they interact with clients... a helpful collection of writings at an approachable level... avoids arcane or esoteric turgidity, and should provide insights for individual readers and useful topics for discussion' - Phoenix

`This book, in keeping with the others in the series, is very readable and no chapter is too long... there are suggested discussion points which help to focus the reader's attention... My own counselling and teaching will be more comprehensive for having read this book' - British Journal of Medical Psychology

`the book's strength is the stimulus to discussion encouraged by its variety of approaches and topics and its clear and economical writing. Windy Dryden's intelligent discussion questions (such questions are so often done badly) at the end of each article seem especially valuable in this connection: they not only focus squarely on each reader's experience of the issues in question, but often subtly encourage the reader to question the premises of the article just read... a stimulating and valuable book, well suited to its intended readership' - British Journal of Guidance and Counselling
