Reviews"The book is very readable and accessible; it is unusual in that it would be helpful to anyone involved from either side of the divide between therapists and users." --Dr. Maria Bain, Psychiatrist, Alcohol Problems Service, Royal Edinburgh Hospital, in Progress in Neurology and Psychiatry "This excellent book on drug users and the counselling process applied Carl Rogers' person-centred approach as a medium to demonstrate the way that drug users can be aided in their journey towards abstinence. ...the book also offers insights into the day-to-day experience of drug users in a way that is both factual and informative about the ingoing client-therapist dialogue." --Nick Grenville, inNursing Standard "It gives readers a real understanding and insight into the world of a drug user and the possible contributors to the problem. Actual and potential clients could gain encouragement about the benefits of person-centred counselling. Health professionals can find an easy-to-follow explanation of Rogers' counselling model and how counselling allows a troubled client to grow and heal." --Caroline Morris, in Addiction Treatment Today "As a practitioner I am grateful that Richard Bryant-Jefferies has written this book. The fact he is breaking new ground is indisputable." --Catherine Hayes, in Health Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal
