Integrative Person-Centred Counselling: The Combined Model of Counselling and Psychotherapy

By Rick Murphy

Forward-thinking resource combining the most influential therapy models into a single integrative person-centred counselling model Uniting psychotherapy literature into one model, Integrative Person-Centred Counselling sketches the family tree of counselling, demonstrating through its history and relationships how it is one thing: the theory and practice of psychotherapy. This book begins by exploring relationship-based counselling and argues for its rightful place as the foundation to all psychotherapies. Then, chapter by chapter, the book takes each of the most influential therapy models, from psychoanalysis to cognitive behavioural therapy to attachment theory to family therapy and combines them into a bigger picture: an integrative person-centred counselling model. Written by a highly qualified lecturer, author, and psychotherapist, Integrative Person-Centred Counselling includes information on: Dream analysis, ego, free association, integrative counselling, psychoanalysis, psychodynamic therapy, symbolism and wish fulfilment Ambivert, archetypes, introversion and extroversion, integrative counselling, jungian analysis and the collective unconscious Attachment styles and theories, counselling, the internal working model, the strange situation test and unconditional positive regard Circularity, family therapy, interpersonal patterns, lifecycles, narrative therapy, social graces and triangulation Cognitive distortion, cognitive theory, the cognitive triangle, core beliefs and integrative counselling Written in clear and succinct language, Integrative Person-Centred Counselling is an essential forward-thinking reference for therapists, trainees and interested readers seeking an introduction to the world of modern integrative psychotherapy and imaginative ways to transform counselling practice.
