Book Synopsis

'Raving about books and recommending them wholeheartedly to my colleagues is not a practice I frequently engage in. However, with this publication I am about to stick my neck out and say that I think this is a wonderful book and that anybody involved in counselling or counselling training should have a copy... Heron's writing is clear and his depth of counselling experience is evident. He tackles the immense and difficult issues of responsibility and power within a helping relationship with great sensitivity and insight... his outline programme for training in six category intervention gives an easy to follow structure for running what I believe would be an extremely useful training course... an excellent purchase' - Clinical Psychology Forum
