Product Description

In recent years increased attention has been focused on the nature, consequences and application of social support, resulting in an every-growing theoretical and empirical literature. This book is a distillation and application of that literature to the work of counsellors and other mental health professionals. The volume begins with an overview of social support theory and research and then considers the manner in which the major trends and findings can be applied to various stages and components of counselling practice - screening and intake, assessment, interventions with individuals, group interventions, system-focused interventions, follow-up and primary prevention. It is a practice-oriented text, designed to provide counsellors with concrete procedures while also giving them a conceptual background that can contribute to informed, flexible practice. It is directed to advanced students and professionals in counselling, social work, clinical psychology, school psychology, community mental health and related fields and is especially appropriate for those working in educational and community settings.
