“In this well written, meticulously researched and timely book, Lane and Corrie propose that the art of decision making, like any art, requires discipline, training and continual practice. This book should be required reading on clinical and counselling psychology programmes and related fields. For those about to enter practice, this book provides you with much needed support for engaging with the realities of a complex and shifting political and professional landscape. For the more experienced practitioner, this book challenges you to become more explicit about, and to sharpen and widen, the assumptions, models and procedures that guide your everyday decision making. This is continuing professional development of the most relevant and needed kind. I will be recommending this text to my students, colleagues, peers, and, yes, managers, very strongly indeed!”
Dr Michael Worrell, Consultant Clinical Psychologist & Programme Director, CNWL Foundation Trust
“In this book Lane and Corrie have made an important contribution to the training of counsellors and therapists, and the practice of working in the helping professions – and they have managed to do this in a way that is engaging, accessible and practical. Whether you are just starting out in the helping professions, or are a seasoned therapist, this book will help you improve your practice. The case studies, illustrations and reflection questions bring to life the dynamics of decision making and provide the reader with useful pathways to more sophisticated and effective decision making in their work.”
Dr Michael Cavanagh, Coaching Psychology Unit, Sydney University, Australia and Visiting Professor, Institute of Work Based Learning, Middlesex University, UK
“Lane and Corrie draw upon their rich experience and understanding not just as clinicians and researchers but also as adult educators to provide a book which deepens our understanding of decision making. The insights and approach put forward go beyond the professional context which illustrates them to contribute to a broader understanding of what it is or what it might be to be a professional and to take professional decisions in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. When considering how good decision makers develop the key insight is to focus our attention upon the learning process rather than knowledge content. This change of viewpoint is profound.”
Professor Jonathan Garnett, Director Institute for Work Based Learning, Middlesex University, UK
"The book is organised well and an appealing aspect of this book is Lane and Corrie’s ability to combine their clinical expertise with their research and training experience to engage the reader on their own self reflective journey through the use of practical exercises. I would whole heartedly recommend this book to all clinicians whether to use as guidance when initially thinking about their decision making skills, or as part of continuing professional development."
