This is an elegant resource book on self-awareness and personal development...encourages mindfulness about our own process and shows how much we still have to learn about ourselves.' -Julia Greer, Therapy Today '...a delightful book which seeks to provide resources and support to therapists who are engaged in the process of becoming more self-aware as part of their personal development...I would certainly recommend the book to both qualified therapists and trainees as well as to other professionals and friends. Having read it I would also dip back into it again in the future.' - Dr Tina Griffiths, The Journal of Psychological Therapies in Primary Care

Personal development is integral to much counselling and psychotherapy training. Self-awareness and critical reflection are also vital for developing effective therapeutic relationships. This uniquely focused sourcebook offers a fascinating range of approaches to the challenging and sometimes elusive task of self-development and self understanding. This textbook begins by introducing four core ways of seeing the 'self': as multiple, contextual, open to change, and always in relation to the 'other', and finishes by bringing together a range of specialist practitioners to explore different pathways to self understanding. Self Awareness and Personal Development provides hands-on resources for the ongoing project of exploring the self. It is an invaluable text for students, trainees and practitioners in counselling and psychotherapy.
