Counselling Psychology: Integrating Theory, Research and Supervised Practice

A newly-emerging discipline, with its foundations in academic psychology, counselling psychology has the unique potential to integrate research and practice in counselling. Practitioners are sometimes reluctant to introduce research into their place of work, seeing it as a distraction from the counselling process. This book shows how a blend of theory, research and supervised practice can be employed in ways which will benefit both counsellors and their clients.Counselling Psychology, while a valuable sourcebook for experienced practitioners, also provides a secure grounding for trainees.
