DOHA: QScience has published its first open access ebook, ‘An Islamic Modification of the Person-Centered Counselling Approach’ by Aisha Salman Al Thani of Qatar University.
This book explores the possibility of applying a modified person-centered counselling approach (PCA) as a nondirective way of helping and supporting Muslim clients in Qatar, and focuses on the similarities between Islamic counselling and the PCA in working with depressed clients. QScience.com is expanding its open access programme by offering fully open access books, which will extend QScience’s established journal portfolio.
The books are freely available in PDF, ePub and Kindle formats for reading on screen, printing out, or to be read on mobile devices, such as phones and iPads.
The new book programme gives authors and editors in all areas of research the opportunity to publish open access books with the same high standards they are used to at QScience.com journals.
