`This book is clearly a labour of love by two authors with unique abilities and unparalleled experience: readers will be educated, inspired and encouraged in their own dialogue with the person-centred approach′- Charles J O′Leary, Denver, Colorado
`Mearns and Thorne have done Rogers proud in suggesting how person-centred theory and practice can, without losing its essence, evolve in new directions′ – Richard Nelson-Jones, Director of the Humanistic Cognitive Institute, Chiang Mai
