Riassunto

This is a comprehensive course text for training new counsellors in basic and more advanced counselling micro-skills which come from a number of therapeutic approaches. The book enables new trainees to learn how to make informed choices about the type of skill to use and how to integrate it within a sequential counselling process. It discusses practical issues including ethics and culture, record-keeping, supervision, and the counselling environment, and offers explanation of the therapeutic approaches related to particular micro-skills and the ways to best combine them to facilitate change and provide effective practice.

This accessible introduction to counselling skills is essential reading for teachers and trainees alike, an excellent course text for training new counsellors from a number of theoretical approaches.
