Philosophy For Counselling and Psychotherapy: Pythagoras to Postmodernism

Rating:
Summary: for reference and reflection
Review: In this well thought-out book, Howard provides concise overviews of around thirty philosphers and thinkers whose ideas bear on the deep questions of ordinary life. Though the primary value of this book is as a reference for philosophical counselors, and counselors of other kinds seeking to integrate philosophy into their practice, it is also a fine book for general readers. The book's short, self-contained, chapters provide many rewarding and provocative one-sitting reads. Few would not find some significant personal question addressed in it, along with tips for further reading.
