Abstract:

Poses a number of everyday questions, such as 'What makes us tick?' 'Where do my values come from?'How did I become who I am?' This book looks at how person-centred psychology can make a positive contribution to education, multiculturalism, power issues and living constructively with each other, as well as to counselling and psychotherapy.

'... refreshingly comprehensive in the attention it gives to areas other than person-centred therapy and containing a wealth of illustrative material bringing to life issues within human development, the person-centred approach in education, group work and peace studies. Congratulations to Tony Merry on an important addition to the recommended book list of any person-centred training course and for reminding us that person-centred psychology is only partially about person-centred therapy.' Dave Mearns, Person-Centred Practice.
