Sinopsis

The Handbook of Counselling provides a comprehensive and up-to-the-minute guide for counsellors and those using counselling skills in other professions. The contributors, all experienced practitioners, explore the major arenas and settings in which counselling is practised as well as the key themes and issues faced by those working in this field. This, the second edition of the handbook, has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the growth and change within counselling over recent years. Six new chapters have been added covering topics such as brief and time-limited counselling, working with adults abused as children, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder and counsellor - client exploitation. Published in association with the British Association for Counselling, the Handbook of Counselling provides a definitive source of information and guidance for counsellors both in training and practice.
