Within the contexts of contmeporary counseling training, this book revisits the importance of continuing personal and professional development for every successful counseling practitioner. From the trainee and their personal development to the trainer and their course, it provides the answers to that all important question: what is personal and professional development and why is it necessary for counselors? The new edition explores:ÿthe importance of personal development and the core concepts that underpin it;ÿthe aims, commonalities and differences of personal development in different settings;ÿthe key differences in theoretical approaches and their implications for personal development;ÿthe issue of communication and relationship between counselors and professional organizations, society, and the 'virtual' world;ÿand the trainee and trainer and the challenges of personal development.

Packed full of vivid accounts of personal experiences, questions and points for refection, this book will prove an essential companion for anyone wishing to grow personally and professionally as a therapist.

'This really is an excellent book without equal. The title belies its wider appeal and potential value. Experienced trainers and practitioners will find much to challenge their ingenuity and refresh ways of enhancing what Johns describes as the "life-long and career-long process" of personal development. This second edition expands significantly on the first edition. It's well organised and written in a clearly accessible and engaging style. For me it has always been a "must-buy"!' - Ian Horton, formerly of University of East London
