Applying the Person-Centred Approach to Global, Social and Personal Crises: Contemporary Challenges

Against the backdrop of current debates in society about mental health and responses to crises, this edited volume examines the person-centred approach (PCA) as a vital framework for addressing contemporary mental health challenges and promoting psychosocial resilience across diverse cultural contexts.

This book tackles a range of themes and topics that reflect challenging, contemporary global, social, and personal issues, such as war and conflict, social care, grief and loss, artificial intelligence, and neurodiversity. Chapters explore the universal issues that face the person-centred, experiential, and humanistic counselling communities in our current times, as well as the barriers to addressing these issues, and the models of good, innovative practice that have sought to tackle them. This book demonstrates how non-directivity proves to be crucial for affecting meaningful change for the self. Presenting first-hand practitioner experience and guidance, this book will be of significant value amidst current dialogue and debate on the value of the PCA when working with people and organisations in times of crises.

Focusing on the wider application of the PCA beyond the therapy room and the response it offers to current societal challenges, this book will be essential reading for person-centred practitioners, counselling researchers and policymakers interested in crises, conflicts, and social changes.
