------------------------------------------------------
Effective counselling is based on a strong working relationship between counsellor and client. Building and maintaining this therapeutic alliance, demands both skill and an ability to negotiate challenges which arise during the counselling process.
Key Issues for Counselling in Action prepares new practitioners for face-to-face work with clients by looking at what is required at each stage of the process and examining issues which practitioners most frequently need to deal with along the way. The topics covered are relevant to all counsellors, regardless of theoretical orientation.
The book explores the everyday issues counsellors face when:
- getting started
- making an assessment
- working at relational depth
- setting goals, and
- ending the relationship
Advice is also given on more difficult challenges, such as dealing with:
- reluctant clients
- stuckness
- client dependency, and
- unplanned endings.
Key Issues for Counselling in Action is a bestselling text which has been used to train many thousands of counsellors as well as supporting their continuing professional development. This second edition has been completely re-written and includes new material on the use of touch, self-care, culture and counselling evaluation.
Windy Dryden is Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies, Professional and Community Education (PACE) at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
Andrew Reeves is a University Counsellor at the University of Liverpool Counselling Service and Editor of the journal, Counselling & Psychotherapy Research.

Format:Paperback
These "In Action" books are great for counselling students. I would say that whilst I studied at College I was unaware of these books much to my dismay but now at uni these books are fundamental to my learning. I have about four of the books from the series so far and each book can interlink with each other and bridge the gaps between the approaches. I dont see one area of therapy as being better or more practical than another. I just see them all with the same goal - to help the client. And these books certainly increse your personal development as well as theoretical knowledge to do just that.
The books are all concise and this book helps to teach the Counsellor about tackling the key issues involeved in the helping relationship from start to finish.
As it says in the description dealing with the issues ranging from trust, reluctancy and transference. It is a definite added edition to my counselling knowledge and theory. And will add numerous quotations to my assignments for years to come.
It is a definite must for anyone starting to learn about therapy through to being fully qualified. One thing I found was these books were not on the colleges recommended reading lists. And if i had known about them I would of benefited. Reading and theory did not seem to be fundamental to the college. Which was a shame considering how far I have come reading more and more this last year.

This is an excellent book, requested by our Russian colleagues. It will be shared amongst them and have a wide audience. A well-thought out basic 'textbook'.
