"Intelligent, skilled, inspiring therapists offer chapters that teach us not only how to be therapists working with those at the ‘difficult edge’ but how to be better therapists with all our clients. This book gives us deep

understanding of often misunderstood clients and the therapist’s inner dialogue in connecting with them." Charles O’Leary, author of The Practice of Person-Centred Couple and Family Therapy

"This book identifies the challenges of contact with certain client groups and particular ‘difficult edges’. Throughout, the contributors hold the notion of empathy as a guiding light; both explicitly and implicitly documenting the profound impact of understanding and acceptance on others and self." Sheila Haugh, Associate Lecturer, Prague College of Psychosocial Studies, Czech Republic; Lecturer, Metanoia Institute, London, UK
