Review

'A counsellor's pocketbook...a useful companion to students on courses up to counselling skills certificate level.' -- Counselling Magazine

From the Author

Being invited to produce a second edition of what has proved a popular book is very satisfying, and writing it has been an exciting and rewarding experience for both of us. Most chapters have been reworked, updated, and new sections and additional examples have been added. Many of the original illustrations have been modified to improve clarity and consistency, and three new diagrams have been incorporated to enhance learning. The glossary, useful organisations, and further reading sections have been extensively developed and updated. These additions, plus a new and wide-ranging section of informative websites, provide the reader with an invaluable resource, thus adding a new dimension to the book. Finally, to add a touch of warmth, some inspirational quotes have been added to the chapters.

Written in an easy reading style, this practical book will be of particular interest to anyone considering a career in counselling. With its wealth of case studies, examples of skills, illustrations and exercises, it will also be a valuable tool for tutors of counselling skills courses. Additionally, it will benefit those who use counselling skills as part of their work: for example, mental health workers, alternative therapists, volunteer counsellors, teachers, managers, doctors, nurses, probation officers, social workers, personnel officers, trainers and tutors, ministers, residential workers, community workers and pastoral care workers.

We hope you enjoy it. (Jan Sutton and William Stewart)
