You are expected to reference a range of recommended texts which include classical and contemporary texts. Classical texts refer to Rogers,
either Client Centred Therapy, Rogers (1951)
or The Carl Rogers Reader Kirschenbaum and Henderson (1990).
Contemporary texts refer to authors such as:
- Dave Mearns and Brian Thorne
- Mick Cooper
- Margaret Warner
- Tony Merry
- Pete Sanders
- Paul Wilkins
- Rachel Freeth.
Recommended key texts are noted in the Course Handbook, (included below for ease of access). You will find some of these texts in the Staff and Students area of the Persona website Module 2 (see below).
Note: We expect students to refer to
a minimum of six texts from the recommended texts and papers.
Research and writing: Remember
you do not have to read texts from cover to cover; you can dip in and out and source the sections that are particularly relevant to this assignment. You are also encouraged to illustrate your thinking and build your argument by referencing articles, e.g. Therapy Today and the Counselling and Psychotherapy Research Journal published by BACP (available on BACP website). You also have access to EBSCO via the BACP website which will give you access to a range of different journals.
