PCCS Books Libros

Brings together a collection of writings by authors who have participated in and with groups over a period of thirty years, using the person-centred approach.

Extensively updated and retitled in a second edition, this book makes a powerful case for the effectiveness of person-centred approaches to working with people diagnosed with severe 'mental illnesses'. This new edition captures the recent changes in how mental health is conceptualised and understood, and in how mental health care is delivered.

A book about racism and its intersections with other forms of oppression within the talking therapies, told from the therapist's perspective. Containing first-person accounts of the often traumatising silencing of counsellors of colour within, and by, their own profession. These are also stories of strength, courage, resourcefulness and growth.

Global heating, catastrophic climate change, ecosystem damage and species extinction hang over us all. In this book - counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, coaches and their supervisors - explore the frameworks, theoretical constructs and ways of working they have devised to hold hope and build agency in the face of it all.

This collection of chapters casts a critical eye on the concept of coproduction in our national mental health and learning disability services. Contributors from across the mental health arena offer critical analysis and case examples of coproduction in principle and practice.

Now in its third edition, this classic text is essential reading. From its origins in the 1960s, person-centred therapy has long resonated. But it has not stood still, and in this book leading proponents in their fields offer succinct and inspiring summaries of their specialist approach, supported with suggestions for further reading and resources.
