A really good practical text for counselling and mental health students.
This has proved a useful book so far in relation to case studies and activities for student involvement. Some of the concepts take the students to the next level of intereventions and in that respect have generated much discussion in class in relation to how theory is put into practice (or not in some cases).
The book has been on loan to a number of students who have reported back positively.
an easy to access work for level 5 students and is also useful to level 6 students for exam revision
Although considering this text for postgraduate students, I believe it to be a worthy companion at undergraduate level also, and shall be adopting it for first degree students also. It is written in accessible English, has clear case study applications of theory to practice and is clearly referenced so that students may locate topics easily. A great introduction!
A highly readable, well-structured and clear basic introduction to skills, applicable across the board. Great reference text for new trainees which includes everything the neophyte counsellor needs to know about ethical practice and context. An essential text for our year 1 students
A very welcome updated edition of a core text.
Very useful addition to texts used on the course for midwives during genetic counselling in haemoglobinopathies.
