The use of counselling skills

by John Swain

Issues of the use of counselling skills are looked at specifically focusing on the principles, processes and contexts of therapy. The book takes a reflective practitioner approach and provides activities designed to help the reader relate the ideas discussed in the book to themselves, their practice as therapists and the particular context of their work. The book draws on and explores a wide range of personal and formal perspectives, including the clients' viewpoints, to enhance reflection on communication and relationships in practice.
