Evidence-based and easy to understand, it covers the differences between psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and counselling. Containing case histories, flowcharts, diagrams and a list of useful addresses and websites, the book is aimed at anyone who needs a helping hand choosing a counsellor or mental health therapist.
