Since the first edition of this book published fifteen years ago, research, politics and the economy have caused many changes in counselling and psychotherapy. However, one thing that has remained unchanged is that the person of the practitioner is the most significant factor in effective therapeutic practice. Within the contexts of counselling training in the 21st Century, this book revisits the importance of continuing personal and professional development for every successful counselling practitioner. From the trainee and their personal development to the trainer and their course, it provides the answers to that all important question: what is personal and professional development and why is it necessary for counsellors? This new edition explores: " the importance of personal development and the core concepts that underpin it " the aims, commonalities and differences of personal development in different settings " the key differences in theoretical approaches and their implications for personal development " the issue of communication and relationship between counsellors and professional organizations, society, and the 'virtual' world " the trainee and trainer and the challenges of personal development. Packed full of vivid accounts of personal experiences, questions and points for refection, this book will prove an essential companion for anyone wishing to grow personally and professionally as a therapist.

Product description
Review
'This really is an excellent book without equal. The title belies its wider appeal and potential value. Experienced trainers and practitioners will find much to challenge their ingenuity and refresh ways of enhancing what Johns describes as the ""life-long and career-long process"" of personal development. This second edition expands significantly on the first edition. It's well organised and written in a clearly accessible and engaging style. For me it has always been a ""must-buy""!' - Ian Horton, formerly of University of East London

Personal Development in Counsellor Training
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2022Verified Purchase
Hazel Johns' book is an easy read, easy to follow and understand, and being a trainee counsellor you really do need an easy read; at times... l feel for me (currently on year 2. Degree course - level 4), it has detail and personal experience demonstrated throughout the book and found it explores the reasoning behind the subject. Quite informative and not overly complicated narrative.
