Brief humanistic counselling for OCD

In episode 318 therapist Jonny Say interviews Stuart about his OCD research. Stuart’s research used data from the University of Roehampton’s ETHOS project.

We discuss the motivation for this research, what is humanistic counselling, the research and what was found, what humanistic (and person-centred) counselling can learn from CBT, and what CBT can learn from humanistic counselling, hopes for the research, and much more. Hope it helps.
