Facilitating children’s and adolescents’ growth has been a challenge and major concern for person-centred work from the beginning of the approach in the 1940’s. During the past decade, a shift in this domain has generated numerous new concepts, research and practice. This shift has made considerable impact on the professional tasks and training of educators, counsellors, and psychotherapists. Fifteen original chapters and a foreword from Brian Thorne reflect this development.

  • Two of them elaborate rationales for the healing power of a person-centred relationship based on empirical research and developmental psychology.
  • Five present new person-centred therapeutic methods around the topics of abuse, adolescent violence, and focusing.
  • Six further ones expose school related topics: school counselling, parent-teacher conferencing, classroom discipline, and experiential learning.
  • Two chapters from the editors frame these challenging new concepts, providing a comprehensive overview about the person-centred state of the art in work with children, adolescents and parents and identifying emerging themes in this field.
  • The chapters have roots in presentations from a symposium at the Potsdam PCE 2006 World Association conference. Thus authors from all over the world, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, UK, and USA. Thus, this book is presenting the exciting new concepts, research, and practice that is emerging around the world today.
