Description

The demand for psychotherapy and counselling is greater than ever. More and more people are enrolling in psychotherapy and counselling courses; the number of different associations in this industry has doubled and everyone knows someone who is in therapy or at least thinking about it. So are standards of practice being sacrificed while we are trying to keep up with the demand? Are the right people training to be psychotherapists? Have you got the right psychotherapist?

This book is the combined effort of Neville, Joan, Andrew and David Symington. Drawing from a vast collection of  research and experiences, the book provides some insight in what one should look for when choosing a psychotherapist.
