Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Counselling Skills for Working with Shame helps you to understand and identify shame and to build shame resilience in both the client and yourself.

Written in an accessible style, this is a hands-on, skills-based guide which helps practitioners to identify what elicits, evokes or triggers shame. It gives a general introduction to the nature of shame in both client and counsellor and how these become entwined in the therapeutic relationship. It focuses on increasing awareness of shame and how to release it in order to build shame resilience.

With points for reflection, helpful exercises, top tips, reminders and suggestions for how to work with clients, this is a highly practical guide for counsellors, therapists and related professionals.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 248-254) and indexes
