This book collates much of Goff Barrett-Lennard's writing on a range of key topics in the counselling domain. Each chapter reflects a distinct feature or step on a pathway of distinguished contribution. Some chapters grew out of previous papers and others were written specifically for this volume. All, including the biographical Appendix, are new in their present form.

The work provides a unique insight into a professional—personal journey begun fifty years ago, and it offers a vital contribution to contemporary helping professions.

Godfrey (Goff) Barrett-Lennard is Honorary Fellow in Psychology at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia, and in part-time practice. He left Perth in the mid-1950s to study with Carl Rogers, graduating (PhD, 1959) from the University of Chicago. His career continued in the United States, New South Wales and Canada, until the mid-1980s, when he settled again in Perth. The content of this book, and his major work Carl Rogers’ Helping System: Journey and Substance (Sage, 1998), are testimony to the scope and depth of his contribution.
