Product Description

Review

"This book is an invaluable guide for those practitioners who want to monitor and review the ways in which they can employ brief/time limited counselling and evaluate their own practice." - Ian Horton "This very readable book was long overdue. It informs the beginner and experienced counsellor how to undertake brief counselling, step by step, from orientating the client to counselling." - Stephen Palmer "...a very practical guide to every step in counselling practice." -Journal of Interprofessional Care "...essential reading for anyone who is thinking of going into private practice or who isconsidering taking up a full-time position as a counsellor." - Counselling "...a detailed and practical guide on the management of casework, useful to counsellors working in private practice or in an organisational setting." - Relate"...a good buy for the student who aims to develop his or her skills in counselling." - Nursing Times


Product Description

This practical book is designed to help beginning counsellors and therapists examine and improve their work. It is addressed to those practitioners who choose to, or are obliged to work within a brief contact; and to all those who recognize the reality that counselling and therapy after turn out to be much briefer than their popular image might suggest. The ideas in the book are culled from the authors' own experiences as seasoned practitioners of brief counselling as well as from their work as supervisors and trainees of counsellors. They address the kind of questions frequently asked by trainee and beginning counsellors, and provide guidelines rather than injunctions. They do not assume that any particular counselling orientation is more fitting for brief counselling than any other, and they give various examples of how practitioners from different schools might regard particular issues. They provide helpful hints from a broad perspective and an invaluable resource for fine-tuning the work of counsellors and therapists.

3.0 out of 5 stars An easy to read and understand book for the beginner, 9 Nov 1999
By A Customer
I found this book to be informative and easy to understand, it is a publication that I found I could dip in and out of as well as reading at lenght. As a 'beginner' in counselling it gives practical hints from a wide area of knowledge looking at different schools of counselling. Thoughout the publication it gives answers to questions that are often asked by the beginner. I will use this as a reference book time and time again.
