Synopsis

The first part of the book explores the notions of self and self-awareness. It also describes and investigates the concept of experiential learning - the means of learning through experience. The second half of the book offers concrete examples of how to put the first part into practice. It offers a discussion of the interpersonal skills involved in one-to-one counselling and in group work and suggests a range of exercises that can help in the development of these. Sample programmes of how to run counselling, group and self-awareness workshops are also offered. The book includes case studies and is aimed at a variety of groups of people from student nurses who may want to use it as a means of making sense of their experience, to nurse educators and trainers who may find it useful as a sourcebook.
