Glossary
This volume is a very welcome addition to PCCS Books' series of 'Counselling Primers'. It confines itself to the varieties of experiential therapy that live within the broad person-centred tradition ... Nick Baker has covered a wide range of ideas in a short book, and has succeeded in producing an overall perspective that should be very useful for students and others who wish to explore further this rather neglected area of person-centred therapy ... I think this is a valuable book in that it will broaden students' appreciation of the variety and complexity present in the person-centred tradition. Campbell Purton, Senior Lecturer, Centre for Counselling Studies, University of East Anglia. In BJGC 37(3) 2009.
Nick Baker retired as Senior Lecturer in Counselling at St Martin’s College, Lancaster in August 2007. He worked for 20 years as a counsellor educator with a special interest in experiential approaches to psychotherapy.
