This workshop is oriented around the launch of a major new text, edited by Mick Cooper and Bill Miller, entitled _Person-Centered Practices: From Individual Growth to Collective Change_ (Guilford). The book brings together leading voices from psychotherapy, education, healthcare, policing, leadership, parenting, and beyond; and is a comprehensive exploration of how empathy, collaboration, and genuine human connection can transform every corner of society.

At this launch event, chapter authors will draw on vivid examples and accessible insights, to describe how person-centered values offer practical, humane alternatives to authoritarian and transactional models of practice. At a time of global uncertainty and rising polarization they will show how a person-centered way of being can foster compassion, effectiveness, and meaningful change across diverse professional and community settings.

The workshop will also include time for Q&A; and an opportunity for the book’s editors, Mick Cooper and Bill Miller, to present their latest, integrated understanding of the nature and scope of person-centered practices across professions, disciplines, and nations. This workshop is suited to all professionals—counsellors and psychotherapists, in the person-centered field and beyond—who want to understand how person-centered principles can be extended to a range of domains, and why this matters more than ever.
