Clive's Articles

Here are some recent articles about the theory, practice, and experience of counselling which may interest both 'clients' and 'professionals'.

Dr Rogers...

The 'Dr Rogers trilogy' offers my developing understanding of (what I am coming to think of as) the reintegration of client centered therapy and experiential focusing.

The first of them (The Moral Umbrella) has a lot to say about environmental ethics. If that doesn't interest you, you may wish to start with the second article (The Rebellious Right Arm).

One Size

Here is the latest version of my thoughts on session length.

Mary

This, I think, speaks best for itself.

Reflections on Training

These are 'bookends'. 'Whale notes' and 'Jonah' are reflections on my own counsellor training. They draw attention to things I still think worth discussing. 'Caesar'  appeared in therapy today (2008) after I had spent several years as a training program director. Accompanying it was an editorial observation that my thoughts and experiences bear equally upon the fate of person-centred practice within the NHS. Given a government committed to controlling counselling through the Health Professions Council, that feels important.

Ecosophism and Counselling

Ecosophism: household wisdom, where the "household" is this lovely blue-green planet and all that is upon it.

Here are two articles and a book chapter published in 2006 and, for completeness, the PDF version of Dr Rogers and the moral umbrella. There is quite a bit about the practice and theory of counselling as well as about ecosophism.

The first, '6 conditions', appeared in therapy today, and was intended for counsellors not necessarily familiar with environmental philosophy or person-centered theory. The second, ‘Pilgrim’, was written specifically for person-centered colleagues. The third is a chapter from Campbell Purton and Judy Moore eds. (2006) Spirituality and Counselling: Experiential and Theoretical Perspectives. Ross-on-Wye: PCCS Books. It is a PDF because that best retains the original formatting. Some people like that aspect of the chapter, and some do not.
