 For the Journey March 15, 2008
Jay Fostrick (U.K.)
This book has accompanied me along the road through certificate and into diploma level study. I have found it useful as a source of clear, thoughtful, accessible information about a wide range of topics around the philosophy and politics of counselling. It has been helpful for assignments and for me to conceptulise material encountered during my first year at diploma.
 Excellent Introduction September 14, 2006

Being someone about to embark on a journey into Counselling starting my Diploma studies later this month I have been reading all the recommended books on my list. John Mcleod's book was the last to be read primarily because it was the thickest.
I certainly saved the best to last. In terms of writing the dispassionate approach to the topic enables the reader to review the many strands in Counselling and Psychotherapy that daunts the beginning student. What I most admire is his ability to put into simple words and phrases quite complex subjects. Clear evidence that this guy really understands his topic
The reason I am interested in Counselling is because I work as a Business Mentor and I can see clearly from this book the relationship between these two disciplines. The good thing is that a number of common issues came out that have faced me as a mentor and this book has helped me address those.
As an ex OU student (in Maths BTW) I appreciated the OU style of Introduction and Objectives, Core Material, Summary and Further activity and reading. Anyone at all interested in Counselling must read this book.
Excellent resource for the beginner November 11, 2003

Starting out I wanted an easy to read, theoretical, yet pragmatic introduction to counselling. McLeod's book was it. It wasn't a recommended book, but it provided me with a professional insight into the concepts taught on my course in easy to understand, and interesting language. The set questions at the end of each chapter were most welcome, and supplemented the course content brilliantly.It is a hefty tome, but definitely well worth the outlay for the student counsellor and the interested researcher alike. As a complete beginner, I needed something clear, something that would provide a basic understanding of the approaches and issues involved in counselling. I couldn't have picked a better companion.
Very Readable September 16, 2002

This book offers a very comprehensive guide to the different scools giving rise to different councelling techniques, how they developed and when, in particular, when they were most popular.
Fantastic - my 'bible'! October 31, 2001

Through my years of study at Certificate and then Diploma level in counselling, this book was my steadfast companion - even though it was not on the college's reading list! A thorough, easy-to-read, and enjoyable book which gently guides you through the various theories and theorists. I recommend it to those studying in this field.
