Carl Rogers' Helping System Journey and Substance - Godfrey T Barrett-Lennard

ISBN 0-7619-5677-8 (soft cover). Sage
ISBN 0-7619-5676-X (hard bound). Sage

Godfrey Barrett-Lennard writes -

"Writing this book was often like an extended inner conversation with varied imagined readers: student and teacher companions, colleagues with theoretical and research interest, practitioner-helpers in counselling and related disciplines, and inquiring individuals of other backgrounds...

"The 'journey' in my title is the evolutionary course of a human science and helping system, rooted in the field of psychotherapy and counselling....

"I have brought together the contributions of many people in addition to Carl Rogers himself, within a fresh perspective. The first large question addressed is that of how the innovation, reflected in Rogers' thought and the new therapy, came so vigorously into being in the time and place that it did and two chapters tackle this issue in a previously untravelled path of exploration. A vigorous new system of thought and practice is likely to pass through a cohesive 'school' phase, and then become more pluralistic. Chapter 4 is a bird's eye view of main steps in the development of ideas, practice and research through the first quarter century of the new school; and Chapter 5 articulates its basic stance, constructs and theoretical vision, as evolved during this phase. The big six-chapter third part of the book, 'Principles in Practice', spans areas of process from individual therapy to large groups and community, and speaks in descriptive and studied vein to the many areas and interests now represented in the approach.

The fourth group of chapters focuses on the story and contributions of research in psychotherapy and other fields that this system has spawned, from earliest beginnings to current challenges. The final, two-chapter part of the book articulates long-term continuities, present activity, and aspects of new thought. It includes a many-sided chapter on training, culminating in a review of the current international span of extended or full programs of study and training in this approach. The ending chapter includes my own view of continuities and core features of thought over the long haul, and maps ways of further growing our theory and range of practice."

"... This work has grown from ... a career-long involvement in the approach itself [including my 1950s years in Chicago] and in reaching for an expanded frame of understanding. Extended engagement with Rogers and a community of other vital contributors has nourished my search...

"If you as reader have a sense of being in company with me, in parts of this book, I would welcome direct contact and sharing of ideas or reactions....This preface is a kind of letter... and it comes with my good wishes and the hope that my book honours the trust of your interest."

Counselling a Recovering Drug User: A Person Centred Dialogue September 2003 ISBN 1 85775 850 1

�Richard Bryant-Jefferies� book is well timed and critically needed because it is a unique focus specifically working with the individual drug abuser which is written within the framework of Carl Rogers� person-centred approach. This book is matchless and deeply insightful. The therapeutic alliance at work within the pages of this book describes brilliantly the relationship of three people working together, the client, the counsellor and the counsellor�s supervisor to actively improve the life of one person struggling with a drug problem.�

Dana Murphy-Parker, Professor of Nursing, Arizona Western College, USA; Chair of the Education Committee for the International Nurses Society on Addictions.

Counselling a Survivor of Child Sexual Abuse: Person Centred Dialogue July 2003 ISBN 1 85775 829 3

�I am amazed at the degree to which Richard Bryant-Jefferies has been able to catch the feel of an actual therapy relationship involving the recovery of dissociated trauma memories in the relationship portrayed in this book. Many of the passages in this fictional account gave me goose bumps reading them. I think that this moment-to-moment account of a therapy relationship will be invaluable to therapists learning to work with this sort of material as it emerges with their own clients. The openness of the approach that the author takes to this account is likely to be particularly valuable to readers.� Margaret Warner, Professor, Illinois School of Professional Psychology, Chicago Campus

Counselling for Eating Disorders in Men Richard Bryant-Jefferies June 2005, ISBN 1 85775 758 0

Men and eating disorders is a topic that does not receive much attention, and yet it is a growing problem, and not just in relation to compulsive overeating. Men also experience anorexia and bulimia. This book includes two scenarios, the first concerns working with a man who has a compulsive binge style of eating, causing weight problems, the second focuses on counselling a man who is seeking to address an anorexic condition that is linked to exercising as well as minimal eating, and a degree of body dysmorphia.

Counselling for Eating Disorders in Women Richard Bryant-Jefferies November 2005, ISBN 1 85775 776 9

This focuses on counselling two women. The first woman in her late twenties has a bulimic eating pattern, linked to her childhood experiences at home and which re-emerged through a relationship in which she was the victim of domestic abuse. In the second scenario an older teenager has developed an anorexic condition, her eating pattern linked to her fears of maturation and her felt need to maintain a very slim body image.

Counselling for Progressive Disability: Person Centred Dialogues

March 2004, ISBN 1 85775 898 6

�I am convinced that this book will not only make the Person-Centred Approach accessible to a wider audience, but also increase the general acceptance and empathy for persons with disabilities The book presents two counselling processes which unfold throughout the chapters. At times the author refers to person-centred theory or adds explanations with clinical content. The counselling process is reflected upon in supervision sessions which give a good insight into person-centred supervision.� Elisabeth Zinschitz, President of OEGWG (Austrian

Client-Centred Association, Clinical Director of Child Protection Centre, Vienna.

Counselling for Obesity Richard Bryant-Jefferies May 2005, ISBN 1 85775 728 9

The problem of obesity is a growing one that is attracting increasing attention both amongst health-care providers and the media. Counselling for Obesity presents the causes and offers two scenarios of counselling. The first client was bullied in early childhood for his fatness and later deliberately puts on weight to become the bully himself, but now experiences heath problems that he needs to address. The second scenario is a woman whose excessive weight was a deliberate and conscious strategy to avoid sexual advances as a result of verbal taunting in childhood.

Counselling for Problem Gambling Richard Bryant-Jefferies July 2005, ISBN 1 85775 740 8

Gambling is increasing. It brings a range of problems. Resolving problem gambling is not always simply a matter of changing a habit. Often there are underlying reasons � needs being met � through the gambling experience. In this title the first part deals with counselling a young man with a history of a slot-machine habit that develops into a problematic internet gambling habit. In the second half of the book, a man whose gambling on the dogs and the horses is finding it is affecting his marriage and seeks to regain control. �I have never read a book (or journal paper) in this area that is so detailed and reflective as the one you are reading now.� Mark Griffiths, Professor of Gambling Studies.

Counselling Victims of Warfare Richard Bryant-Jefferies May 2005, ISBN 1 85775 721 1

The introduction provides a brief overview of a person-centred perspective on trauma and its theoretical application to victims of warfare. The scenarios described are working with a woman refugee from Bosnia, who was a witness to, and victim of, atrocity including rape; and a male ex-member of the military coming to terms with his traumatic experiences on conflict situations.

Counselling the Person Beyond the Alcohol Problem. June 2001, ISBN 1 84310 002 9

Bringing together person-centred theory, �cycle of change� model and general information about alcohol use and working with the problem drinker. Includes a section on families, young people and the older drinker. Full of scenarios to illustrate the ideas presented.

Counselling Young Binge Drinkers March 2006, ISBN

Two case scenarios are explored: a teenage girl affected by parental drinking, and an older teenager whose bingeing is linked to past violence in the home. �The stories of Garry and Carrie are very true to life (or to some people�s lives) and similarly true to life are the explanations of the counselling and the supervisory processes. The engagement sections in both extended case studies are particularly good: the showing of two young people in different circumstances who do not want to be there and have counselling is especially useful. But both case studies are excellent throughout! In summary, this is a really exceptionally good book. The style is extremely informative, but it also reads like a �can�t-put-it-down� novel.� Richard Velleman, Professor of Mental Health Research

Counselling Young People: Person Centred Dialogues November 2003 ISBN 1 85775 878 1

'Richard has written a wonderfully creative and informative text here. I believe he has caught the subtlety of the person-centred therapeutic process extremely well while providing such engaging human stories played out through the dialogues. I trust that this book will reach a wide audience of all those who are interested in and committed to the welfare and development of young people.'

Colin Lago, Formerly Director of the Univ. of Sheffield Counselling Service

Family, Self & Psychotherapy: A person-centred perspective. Ned L. Gaylin (2001)
PCCS Books ISBN 1 898059 36 5

Family Self and Psychotherapy provides a comprehensive person-centered look at the family as the essential element of society and is essential reading for all professionals and volunteers working with families, children and individuals. In this book, Gaylin also explores our human need to be interconnected and its implications for both individual and family therapy.
The volume is informally divided into three sections. The first section deals with the centrality of the family to our species as a whole and to us as individuals. The next section addresses the optimistic philosophical foundations of the person-centered approach: the tapestry of the self and its core drive towards psychological well-being. The last section�the heart of the book�deals with the principles and pragmatics of the person-centered approach to working with individuals and families. In Family Self and Psychotherapy Gaylin asserts that therapeutic relationships are more likely to thrive when viewed from this positive perspective especially when therapy operates within the individual�s family context.

Positive Regard, Carl Rogers & Other Notables He Influenced Mel Suhd, Palo Alto, CA; Science and Behavior Books. 1995.

"Positive Regard, Edited by Melvin M. Suhd, and reviewed by Clark Moustakas. This work is a unique, and, at times, spellbinding series of studies on Carl R. Rogers, his personal-professional life, his theories and scientific investigations of psychotherapy processes, conditions, and outcomes, his contributions to knowledge of teaching-learning; also his findings on small and large group dynamics, marriage and family life and ways of facilitating peace in the world. A vast panorama of his contributions to knowledge of human nature and human behaviour and experience, as applied to individuals, communities, and societies, is included. Yet the volume is much more than representations of the theories and ideas of Carl Rogers." (This is the first paragraph of this link)

Praxis der Gesprachspsychotherapie. ISBN 3-608-91647-4 THIS BOOK IS IN GERMAN

Client-Centered Psychotherapy - Dialogues with Therapists.

Marlis P�rtner interviewed client-centred therapist in Europe & the USA about the development of their work & what they considered to be the essence of their work.

She was interested in the criticism that Client-Centred Therapists are thin on theory yet claim to be able to heal all manner of ills. Marlis P�rtner could not accept either the scientific devaluation of the CC methodology nor it's sectarian claim to omnipotence.

The many personal statements, arranged thematically by the author, make this book refreshingly immediate, accessible and stimulates readers to draw their own conclusions.

The book is so far only published in German by Klett-Cotta, Stuttgart. 1994. ISBN 3-608-91647-4.

The Person Centred Approach: A passionate presence. Peggy Natiello (with a foreword by Jules Seeman) (2001)
PCCS Books ISBN 1 898059 26

'Reading this book was the journey I needed. Peggy Natiello informs, illuminates and inspires with this thoughtful and clear account of what 'a way of being' really means. In an age when therapists frequently feel the pressure to add yet another technique to their tool bag, this book is fresh air and reminds us that it is the relationship and quality of being which heals and that this is unique to each encounter.
For anyone seeking to understand the person-centred approach, this book will give a real insight into the rigour, discipline, courage and depth required. For those already committed, this timely book with its many examples deepens our understanding of the radical, political, yet deeply personal nature of this way of being. Not since reading my first Carl Rogers book, have I been so moved, empowered and affirmed.

The author focuses on the relationship between an adult son and his mother, describing the son's process of affirming his adult identity free of his mother's critical dominance. It includes his processing of events in his childhood that left him desperately still seeking love from her as an adult, causing him to remain living with her and experiencing a verbally abusive and crititical relationship. Peter Schmidt in his Foreword writes that this book �presents the state of the art of this approach to counselling and psychotherapy and Richard Bryant-Jefferies� descriptions show his thinking and working in up-to-date relational categories. In the last decades the centrality of relationship for counselling and therapy has become important to almost all orientations and modalities. Such a relationship-oriented understanding of person-centred work equally focuses on both the intrapersonal and interpersonal. These aspects are clearly visible in the narrative of this book and the explanations and interpretations given�.

Responding to a Serious Mental Health Problem. Richard Bryant-Jefferies
Radcliffe Medical Press February 2005 186 pages ISBN 1 85775 703 3 paperback �19-95
This book in the Living Therapy series provides a vivid insight into working with a young person (Ali) who has psychotic symptoms related to his use of cannabis, and with his mother (Fareeda) who is struggling to cope both with Ali and his impact on the family. Fareeda is Moslem and her religious and cultural beliefs become matters that are also addressed in the therapy sessions. Supervision sessions are also included in which the counselors explore the work they are doing and gain valuable insights to enable them to work with their respective clients. Using fictitious narrative, �the Living Therapy series aims �to bring the reader a direct experience of the counseling process, an exposure to the thoughts and feelings of both client and counselor as they encounter each other on the therapeutic journey�: these books do all of this and more.� (Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal)
