"Professor John McLeod's Introduction to Counselling and Psychotherapy is
a classic text. In providing a comprehensive perspective on the field,
it goes well beyond being a mere 'introduction'. Not only does it
deliver an encyclopaedic amount of information, but it also presents

generations' viewpoints. This is 'the' book on counselling and
psychotherapy."Ladislav Timulak, PhD, Course Director, Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, Trinity College Dublin
