Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book introduces the basic theoretical and practical skills essential for all health care professionals. Complex issues are presented in an easy-to read and accessible format, within the context of counselling in health care environments. The first part of the book explores a range of theoretical issues relating to the nature of counselling, self-awareness and maps of the counselling process. The second part of the book considers specific counselling skills and goes on to discuss in detail the ways in which counselling skills can be learned.

Previous ed.: London: Chapman & Hall, 1994.
