Unfortunately, he was not the greatest author and his book, is at best boring. It contains very little therapy log, very little practical tips and at times feels like notihng more than pages upon pages of words! The absence of therapy logs made this book virtually useless for me in my basic counselling training and of extremely limited use (save for referencing) in my post-basic training.

If you are entering the field of specific client centred counselling (or rogerian therapy) this book is a must have. If you are entering eclectic counselling, or other forms of counselling or psychotherapy your money may be better spent elsewhere.
