The earlier editions of this comprehensive Handbook were the best and most comprehensive of the overviews of the discipline. Encyclopaedic in its scope, this new edition is exceptional in providing expert introductions to updated and brand new chapters by leading scholars. It is an essential reference for browsing and for concise reviews of everything practitioners and students might need to find out more about in the field.
-- Associate Professor Jeannie WrightThe latest edition of this classic reference work is encyclopedic and authoritative, but filled with pithy descriptions and lively examples. It is both deeply rooted in the history of the field and up-to-date with exciting new entries. The editors should be proud of the gift they have crafted for the current generation of counselling and psychotherapy students as well as practitioners.
-- Professor Robert Elliott
