Counselling Books and Journal Articles: Welcome!

With an extensive annotated bibliography covering research, theory and practical matters in counselling and psychotherapy, psychology and mental health, we hope you'll find what you're looking for -- whether you're a student, researcher, private practitioner or consumer.

What's New?

The book seller which formerly existed here at CounsellingBooks.com was shuttered in May of last year, and in January 2008 the site came under new ownership. Now a member of the same family of sites which includes CounsellingResource.com, the new look and feel is part of a wide-sweeping set of changes intended to bring a whole new set of useful features and material to the site.

We've revamped our well-known counselling and psychotherapy research bibliography and moved it here -- where you'll find hundreds of counselling books and articles in a newly reorganised hierarchy designed to help you find what you're after as quickly as possible.

And since we have such close ties with CounsellingResource.com, we'll also be providing a peek at the latest counselling and therapy book reviews to be featured over there. Have a look, and let us know what you think via the contact page!

Therapy with Children and Adolescents with Asperger Syndrome
Thu, 24 Jun 2010
Asperger's as a diagnosis can appear to preclude the existence of fulfilling human relationships for the young people concerned. But Bromfield's "relationship-based therapy" for his young clients shows that they have the same human needs for relationship as others, they just have trouble expressing them in socially proficient ways.
