`In this scholarly book, Brian Thorne and Elke Lambers have gathered together significant contributions to the advancement of person-centred theory and practice from leading exponents of the approach in Austria, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom.... I found the book both stimulating and challenging. The insight it offers into working with "difficult" clients is invaluable and the sections on theory stretched me in my understanding of the approach. I strongly recommend it to anyone from within or without the person-centred tradition who wants to achieve a real understanding of the approach "post Rogers" and get to grips with the vibrancy and vitality of person-centred thought in Europe′ - Counselling and Psychotherapy, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy `[This book] stimulates reflection.... I would recommend it for both students and therapists′ - Counselling Psychology Review `Those with an interest in working with adolescents, leadership and team building, and focusing will find riches a-plenty. This book is a treasure-trove that I can recommend to person-centred and non-person-centred trainers and practitioners alike without reservation, in the certain knowledge that they will be enriched by it′ - Person-Centred Practice `People commited to the person-centred approach will find this book stimulating, and one that is likely to provoke some internal arguments as they read it. Others, whose understanding of Rogers begins and ends with `the core conditions′ will find new perspectives and an unsuspected depth here′ - British Journal of Guidance & Counselling
