This classic text demonstrates psychodynamic theory and practices across the counselling process beginning - middle - end. This revised sixth edition includes a new preface, updated further reading sections and a new chapter covering contemporary issues including online working, the application of a social justice and DEI agenda within the field of psychodynamic theory and practice. Counselling in Action is a bestselling series of practical introductions designed for trainees and practitioners. Each book introduces one of the main theoretical approaches and provides a guide to the process of counselling from beginning to end. Covering theory and practice, they are trusted companions for many courses in counselling and psychotherapy and other professions such as nursing, social work and teaching.

Winnicott (SAGE, 1995). He has been a visiting professor at Leeds and Bournemouth Universities and has a Ph.D, his thesis being on psychoanalytic criticism of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. He has retired from practice as a therapist and supervisor, and as a teacher and trainer, but maintains a keen interest in the development of psychodynamic thinking and practice.
