A Little Book About Person Centered Planning – 2nd Edition

Welcome to the enhanced Second Edition of Volume 1 “A Little Book about Person Centered Planning”.  

In addition to the original Introduction and Chapters in the first edition, John O’Brien has written a new Preface and two new chapters have been added:  “What more is possible?” by Beth Mount and John O’Brien; and  “Clearing Our View” by John O’Brien.  First printed in 1998, the articles are still fresh and relevant.  It was good then, and better now.
