The author has combined the skills of detailed, up-to-date scholarship with very clear writing. The book is open to a wide readership: from students and researchers at all levels, to practitioners and their clients. I have admired and used Nelson-Jones' work for many years. This latest book is an immense achievement."   (Emeritus Professor Philip Burnard)"This updated and expanded 5th Edition from Richard Nelson Jones, surely now makes this book a 'classic' in psychotherapy literature. Of particular interest in the new edition is the expansion of chapters on CBT to include both behavioural activation and mindfulness. Presented with the familiar clarity that Richard Nelson Jones is so well known for, this text is a 'must' for both undergraduate and postgraduate psychotherapy modules."  (Ian W Ross)A succinct, up-to-date account, which makes available the complexity of Jung's metapsychology to the interested reader (Ann Casement) 				    	 					         		         		         	                  	         		About the Author Richard Nelson-Jones was born in London in 1936. Having spent five years in California as a Second World War refugee, he returned in the 1960s to obtain a Masters and Ph.D from Stanford University. In 1970, he was appointed a lecturer in the Department of Education at the University of Aston to establish a Diploma in Counselling in Educational Settings, which started enrolling students in 1971. During the 1970s, he was helped by having three Fulbright Professors from the United States, each for a year, who both taught students and improved his skills. During this period he broadened out from a predominantly client-centred orientation to becoming much more cognitive-behavioural. He also wrote numerous articles and the first edition of what is now The Theory and Practice of Counselling and Therapy, which was published in 1982. In addition, he chaired the British Psychological Society's Working Party on Counselling and, in1982, became the first chairperson of the BPS Counselling Psychology Section.   In 1984, he took up a position as a counselling and later counselling psychology trainer at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, where he became an Associate Professor. He continued writing research articles, articles on professional issues and books, which were published in London and Sydney. As when he worked at Aston University, he also counselled clients to keep up his skills. In 1997, he retired from RMIT and moved to Chiang Mai in Thailand. There, as well as doing some counselling and teaching, he has continued as an author of counselling and counselling psychology textbooks. A British and Australian citizen, he now divides his time between Chiang Mai and London and regularly visits Australia.
