Books by Colin Feltham

Colin Feltham brings a much needed perspective on our perpetual striving towards perfectibility. Time to accept our non-omniscience and to rethink what it means to fail.

An exciting new book from the bestselling author and series editor, Colin Feltham. This book thoroughly examines key questions and topics in counselling and psychotherapy.

In the rapidly maturing profession of counselling, this book's sensitivity to time as a precious resource, clients' perceptions, evidence-based guidelines and integration of some of the best thinking from several counselling models make it an ideal core text for beginners and reflective practitioners.

Contains practical suggestions and appendices to help practising and trainee supervisors develop and enhance the skills they need to be successful in their work. This book covers such key areas as creating a supervisory alliance, fostering supervisory relationship, use of tape-recording and highlighting supervisees' strengths and weaknesses.

Outlines the specific practical and technical skills, strategies and knowledge counsellors must have in order to undertake time-limited counselling. Following an examination of the client's induction into counselling, this book describes the appropriate models for different clients and problems.

Focuses on contemporary counselling by comparisons with modern and historical helping services, religious and philosophical analyses of the human condition, and the socio-economic context. This book discusses the issue of professionalization, and examines the arguments concerning the alleged differences between counselling and psychotherapy.
