"I urge you to buy this book... One of the best overviews of the philosophy, principles, theories, research and practices of therapy that I have ever read... This book should be read by both beginning and fully qualified therapists - and importantly, by all those involved in designing and delivering training programmes for counsellors and psychotherapists." Professor Charlotte Sills, Ashridge Business School, Metanoia Institute, UK "If you have been searching for a contemporary book that offers a comprehensive overview of counselling and psychotherapy in straightforward manner whilst also engaging with underlying debates and research evidence, then you have just found it! I highly recommend this book for every counselling and psychotherapy trainee and for seasoned practitioners alike." Dr Divine Charura, Professor of Counselling Psychology, York St John University, UK "The brilliance of a book such as this one, a uniqueness which sits alongside its longevity and numerous editions, is that McLeod's work recognises that counselling and psychotherapy, that the work we do with the wide range of clients we meet, is a constantly growing field...A brilliantly worthy addition to this ever-expanding universe which is our profession." Dr Dwight Turner, Course Leader, Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, University of Brighton, UK John McLeod's accessible bestseller provides a comprehensive, research-informed overview of the theory and practice of counselling and psychotherapy. Now in its seventh edition, this leading introduction to the discipline has been expanded to include a renewed focus on social justice, the use of technology in therapy, non-Western traditions, socio-political and decolonising perspectives, and working with clients who are considering taking their own lives. The book retains its comprehensive coverage of both mainstream and emerging approaches to therapy, and professional issues such as supervision, training, therapist development, ethical standards, and research-informed practice. New to this edition is wider coverage of issues such as racism, the climate crisis, gender, and sexuality; debates around neuroscience, spirituality and integrative approaches to therapy; and third-wave transdiagnostic cognitive behavioural therapies such as ACT, mindfulness, and FAP. Fully revised and updated throughout, the seventh edition also contains: Access to complementary online resources Case studies Landmark and contemporary research studies Critical analysis of the cultural, historical, and social context of therapeutic approaches Reflection and discussion topics Suggestions for further reading This book equips readers with the confidence to navigate and apply a range of therapeutic models. Building on the author's significant research and professional experience, the 7th edition of An Introduction to Counselling and Psychotherapy remains the definitive guide for students and practitioners. John McLeod has extensive experience as a counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor, educator and researcher. He is currently Professor of Counselling at the Institute for Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy in Dublin, Ireland, and has held similar roles at universities in England, Scotland, Italy, New Zealand, and Norway. His publications include the following books with Open University Press: Counselling Skills: Theory, Research and Practice , Embedded Counselling in the Helping Professions: A Practical Guide and Personal and Professional Development for Counsellors, Psychotherapists and Mental Health Practitioners.

The toy is no match for my dogs.
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Pink Snake
The toy itself is well made and the squeaker work well. Unfortunately, it only lasted about 2 weeks before my Treeing Walker Coonhound pup (super chewer) had it shredded. My Plott hound ( heavy chewer) just loved these! She is older and they last longer for her. However she does love to go for the seems first then rips out the squeaker. But she will carry it around for months like that. I think she like the material. I'll probably go back to Walmart for the smaller cheaper ones for now.

Durable and he loves it! It is Ryker Der Hauswolf approved and I recommend it.

Review of Outward Hound Durablez Snake – Squeaky Plush Dog Toy, No Stuffing for Less Mess, Interactive & Tough, 6 Jumbo Squeakers, Puppies & Dogs, X-Large, 40" My best friend brought her 16-month-old German Shepherd up for a visit and I happen to love him to pieces! A few months ago, I bought the smaller version of this same toy snake for him and he LOVED it. Many squeaker toys he has eventually torn up, as puppies and others do. The smaller only has a small tear in the butt-end from playing some minor tug of war with it. This larger version is made just as well and with the same materials. It is very durable, but there are no toys indestructible. The only difference is the length, and it has 6 JUMBO squeakers as opposed to 5 smaller ones. It got here on the day of this post and he has not stopped playing with it! Now if you’re one that squeakers get on your nerves, this is not for you. But, if you’re like me and truly enjoy watching (and hearing) a fur baby having so much fun, then buy this now! The price is very reasonable in my humble opinion. It is Ryker Der Hauswolf approved and I recommend it.

Absolutely one of the best chew toys I've ever bought my dog
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Green Gecko
Absolutely one of the best chew toys I've ever bought my dog. She's a lab-pit mix, about 70 lbs, loves to chew, and is almost pure muscle. There are no half-measures with my dog. When she plays tug of war, she's playing to win. Often, she ends up whipping her entire body back and forth violently to get that thing out of your hands. Playing with her feels like you're pulling against a freight truck. I've never had a plush chew toy last longer than 15-20 minutes. It rips, and suddenly out comes all the stuffing and squeakers. Impossible. I just stopped buying her plush toys altogether, which was such a shame because I know that's her favorite thing ever. But when I saw this on Amazon, I thought I'd give it a try. I wasn't expecting much, nothing is truly invincible. BUT THIS THING IS TOUGH! It's my dog's favorite, she loves the squeakers so much, and so we've played tug of war or keep away nearly every day since I bought it. Yeah, there's a small hole in it now, the fur's a little matted and it doesn't look at pretty as when I bought it, BUT IT STILL LIVES! It's lasted three whole months, which is miracle given my dog's seriously aggressive play style. Squeakers are intact, the black lining has held up, I really can't believe it. I've even given her free reign with it over the past couple of weeks, as I have another one saved for the day this finally dies. Even though she's allowed to take this thing behind the couch and really go at it in a serious chew session, she can't break that black lining. Amazing product.

Cute? Yes! Durable? Not so much…
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Green Gecko, Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Green Gecko
Upon opening this toy I was hopeful that it would last my dog (medium size beagle mix) quite a while. While he enjoyed it, he was able to start ripping it up less than 24 hours after getting it. Now 10 days later, he’s completely destroyed it. He was able to rip open all layers of material, pull them apart, and tear all the squeakers out. While the squeakers are large, they could be a choking hazard for a large dog. Based on the advertised “durability” of this toy and how little time it lasted my dog, I would not purchase it again.
