Foreword by Professor Brian Thorne. Facilitating children's and adolescents' growth has been a challenge and major concern for person-centred work since the beginning of the approach in the 1940s. During the past decade, a shift in this domain has generated numerous new concepts, research and practice, making a considerable impact on both the professional tasks and training of educators, counsellors, and psychotherapists. This book comprises 15 fifteen original chapters describing this development, preceded by a foreword from Professor Brian Thorne. The chapters began as presentations from a symposium at the 2006 'World Association for Person-Centred and Experiential Psychotherapy and Counseling' conference in Potsdam, thus reflecting international perspectives emerging around the world today. Framed by two chapters from the editors, the book provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art person-centred work with children, adolescents and parents, and identifies emerging themes in the field.
