In 2005 I retired from the University of Strathclyde, in Glasgow, Scotland. In truth it was an ‘early’ retirement that gives me time to do other things. This website serves to keep others informed about what I am doing.

At the American Psychological Association (APA) convention in San Diego in August 2010 Dave Mearns received the Charlotte and Karl Bühler Award to an organisation (the University of Strathclyde), and an individual associated with that institution, for their contribution to Humanistic Psychology. It is the first time that the award has been given to an institution outside North America. Nice for Dave since it allowed him to return to the city where he had his initial development as a therapist.

BOOK LAUNCH IN ARGENTINA

On November 21, 2009 the new Spanish language edition of the third edition of Person-Centred Counselling in Action (originally published by Sage (UK) in 2007) was launched in Buenos Aires.
