О аутору
After more than twenty-five years in the counseling field, Mr. FitzMaurice has refined many principles and methods of counseling. He now puts those principles and methods into book form to share them with a wider audience so more people can benefit than he can reach in person. He has written over seventy books, most of which are available worldwide from Amazon and other sources.
• Mr. FitzMaurice has various formal and advanced training in counseling, including Addictions Counseling, Family Therapy, advanced Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Transactional Analysis (TA), and over 1,650 hours of diverse training for continuing education units (CEUs).
• To make the best use of that extensive training, he takes an integrative approach, grounding himself in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (REBT and CBT) and using the other theories to build upon that one core theory rather than focusing on multiple theories and mastering none of them.
• His writings and interests focus on philosophy, psychology, recovery, self-help, and spirituality.
