' The book represents a 'gentle revolution'. The gentleness comes from its lack of stridency & from its inclusiveness & the radical quality is that person-centred therapy in particular & all therapeutic work in general cannot be the same again'
- Therapy Today 'this is a great most important & for the English-language readership ground-breaking book. The subject of the book is of enormous interest & importance within & beyond the person-centered & experiential orientations in the whole field of psychotherapy & counselling both in its practice & its theoretical development. This great book had to be written. It presents an existential phenomenological dialogical approach at its best & highlights the power of encounter relationship. This book does not only portray the state of the art of person-centered & experiential psychotherapies. Since many modalities develop in this direction
- it is foundational for the realm of psychotherapy & counselling as such. The book is of enormous international interest; not only the international perspective on literature & development in the field but also the cross-links of different views contribute to the development of psychotherapy & counselling & will be fruitful for interdisciplinary dialogue. This book stands as a landmark. It will be very influential to theory & practice. If you don't read it you will not be able to join in further discussion & theory & practice developments'
- Person-Centered & Experiential Psychotherapies ' Mick Cooper & Dave Mearns have managed to literally write with relational depth. This reader experienced them as human beings from their introductions in the preface. Their authenticity their transparency & their humility evident from the first few words mirrored the encounter at relational depth" this book is dedicated to. By the end of chapter 6 the reader can imagine every trainee in the future with a well-worn coffee & tear-stained copy of this book in their satchel. This is quite simply a very good book'
- Eisteach 'a bold heart-felt & daring discourse on the issue of communication in the therapeutic encounter. Somebody needed to write a book such as this. Hopefully it will encourage us to examine more closely & conduct more research upon what happens between therapists & their clients'
- Psychology & Psychotherapy 'I found this book really refreshing & more relevant to my practice as a counsellor than any other book on the subject which I have ever read. It felt very erudite honest & "real" truly representative & reflective of what it's like to attempt to work as a person-centred counsellor & also found it stimulating / enlightening. My experience reading it was one of being accompanied & understood as a practitioner there were a lot of "yes that's how it is" moments as well as "that's how it should / could be" times too & I also felt both guided & inspired like receiving good supervision in book form. In addition I found the writing style very accessible warm & engaging'
- Person-Centred Counsellor Staffordshire University ' It does not happen very often that a scientific publication is an exiting read but in this case that was indeed my experience. It touched me as a reader in its written genuineness & I appreciate the fact that the views expressed in this book seem to be firmly grounded in scientific research rather than the research being used as a simple way of demonstration or proving a point. The cooperation between the authors has apparently been so thorough that throughout the various chapters only small differences in style can be noticed'- Tijdschrift Clientgerichte Psychotherapie 'I believe this book will have a durable & intense impact on the perception & discussion of person-centred theory.
