I concur with the editors' conclusion that we need to develop and stimulate research, that we need to develop tools and methodologies that are consistent with the fundamental values and principles of the PCE, but that we also need to work on understanding and speaking the language of colleagues from other orientations and disciplines. The challenge for PCE is to produce good quality research that carries credibility and genuinely supports the development of good practice, client choice and empowerment without 'selling out' the principles of the approach by concentrating on symptoms, symptom relief and the economically driven social control agenda of funders, health providers and insurers. Elke Lambers, Person-centered therapist in PCEP Vol 10 Issue 4, 2011
… I suspect the main value of the book to counsellors in healthcare will be to offer (alongside Cooper's Essential Research Findings in Counselling and Psychotherapy: The facts are friendly) supportive evidence for the validity of our work in the terminology recognised and supported by medical and psychological orthodoxy. Ewan Davidson, Person-Centred counsellor in primary care. HCPJ April 2011
