Effectiveness of Counselling & Psychotherapy

Dr Greg Mulhauser, Managing Editor — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 18:43:55 +0000

Despite clear evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of counselling and psychotherapy, pinning down specific reasons for effectiveness or identifying particularly effective approaches remains tricky. (NOTE: The review of Hubble, et al 1999 includes a great deal of additional information on the topic of effectiveness in therapy.)

Science and Pseudoscience in Clinical Psychology

Professor Colin Feltham — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:34:27 +0000

At a time when Complementary and Alternative Therapies have (again) been under fire from some university scientists for falsely claiming scientific status, and in an era of evidence-based psychotherapy, this book is a key text. It should have a place on all postgraduate counselling and psychotherapy courses, but I suspect it will not be so readily accommodated.

Feltham on the Good of Counselling & Psychotherapy

Dr Greg Mulhauser, Managing Editor — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 12:06:06 +0000

While suffering somewhat from a lack of focus on the book's intended themes, the individual contributions in this edited collection of 16 chapters nonetheless make worthwhile reading in and of themselves. (Review originally published in 2003.)

Consumer Guide to Counselling and Psychotherapy

Dr Greg Mulhauser, Managing Editor — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 11:59:16 +0000

In terms of print resources designed to help individual clients navigate the wide range of counselling and psychotherapy options, this book is at or near the top of the list. Concise, comprehensible, and practical, it is probably one of the best investments a prospective client can make prior to beginning counselling.
