The publishers say:
“This book [coming out in January 2018, written by Prof. Martin Milton] explores how therapists and counsellors can address the key issues of ‘difference’ in working with their clients. No matter how much the therapist knows, how knowledgeable they are or how expert they are, they all face the same dilemma – their clients are always unique, ever-changing, subjective beings. Through a series of case stories the author illustrates to develop context sensitive practice by offering insights into specific issues, client populations and therapeutic contexts. This book will appeal to students, newly qualified counsellors and more experienced professionals looking to develop their practice.”
