Sommario/riassunto |
|
Characterized by its critics as theoretically light-weight culturally-biased and limited in application, until recently the person-centred approach to therapy has had relatively little written in its defence. Paul Wilkins provides a rigorous response to the critics with well-researched, counter-arguments. |
