Primary Sources in Counseling and Psychology
Primary Sources in Counseling and Psychology is a landmark database that, when complete, will contain more than 2,000 transcripts of actual therapy sessions, together with almost 40,000 pages of first-person accounts and 25,000 pages of major reference works. There are diaries, letters, autobiographies, oral histories, and personal memoirs along with the full text of therapy and counseling sessions themselves. All accounts are non-fiction, delivered in the first person and, where possible, contemporaneous. The database will be updated biweekly and so the depth and breadth of the material included will be continuously growing.
