Product Description

"All the while I very much got the impression when I was young that my mother didn't love me and doesn't love me. I think of myself as unlovable..."

These are Charlie's opening words to her potential therapist. Six therapists are given the opportunity of assessing Charlie: what do they wish to know about her? how do they understand her? how might they work with her? and what outcome can they predict for her as a result of therapy?

Review
"This book does offer some in-roads into the careful and refined procedures that take place in psychotherapy without compromising too much the aesthetics, essence and compassion that underpins the work and one is struck throughout by the sensitivity of the therapists in each case. In establishing standards for practice and monitoring the efficacy of treatment, this book provides an exemplar of placing thepatient at the centre of the feedback process...identifying a therapist you can believe in has a fundamental impact on the therapeutic endeavour." - Therapeutic Communities

How several counsellors from different theoritical schools work with the same client
Great book that gives details about the assessment process and the counsellor's way of working depending on his/her theoritical orientation. This book was on the reading list for my advanced diploma course in counselling. It is aimed mainly at students or already established counsellors who are interested in learning about how other counsellors from another theoritical school than yours may work with the same client - Charlie. A very enjoyable book to read.
