About the Author

Peter is Head of the Person-Centred Department at Metanoia Institute where, amongst other trainings, he runs an MSc in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy, BA in Counselling, and the Practitioner Certificate in Person-Centred Practice at the Difficult Edge. He has provided person-centred counselling for nearly twenty five years, predominantly in 'difficult edge' situations within UK National Health Service, multi-disciplinary community teams for adults with mental health issues and adults with learning disabilities, and with young people in inner London school settings. Lisbeth Sommerbeck is a clinical psychologist, accredited as a specialist in psychotherapy and supervision by the Danish Psychological Association. Since 1974 she has been employed in Dianalund Psychiatric Hospital in Denmark, where the bulk of her work has been, and still is, psychotherapy, supervision, consultation and teaching. She therefore has solid personal experience with the ups and downs of being dedicated to the person-centred approach in psychiatric contexts and practising client-centred therapy with psychiatric clients. She is the initiator of the recently created Danish Carl Rogers Forum.
