Self Awareness and Personal Development: Resources for Psychotherapists and Counsellors

Personal development is integral to much counselling and psychotherapy training. Self-awareness and critical reflection are also vital for developing effective therapeutic relationships. This uniquely focused sourcebook offers a fascinating range of approaches to the challenging and sometimes elusive task of self-development and self understanding. This textbook begins by introducing four core ways of seeing the self:: as multiple, contextual, open to change, and always in relation to the other, and finishes by bringing together a range of specialist practitioners to explore different pathways to self understanding. Self Awareness and Personal Development  provides hands-on resources for the ongoing project of exploring the self. It is an invaluable text for students, trainees and practitioners in counselling and psychotherapy.
