- Barbara Douglas
- Pam James - Liverpool John Moores University, UK
With the support of expert contributors, Pam James and Barbara Douglas help your students to confidently do just that, proving a comprehensive introduction to the theory, research and practice behind a range of common presenting issues. Key issues covered include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Trauma
- Bipolar disorder
- Psychosis
- Eating disorders
- Borderline personality disorder
This book should be on the desk of every counselling, psychotherapy and counselling psychology trainee, and is recommended reading for other practitioners of health and social care working with these common presenting issues.
There is a focused range of presenting issues that will be of some interest to counsellors and therefore this book will be considered a supplemental text to support student research.
This is very informative, and practical guidance for social workers, thinking of intervening when there are complex issues of emotional and mental health. This will inform your practice and interventions. This will give a deeper understanding of the processes, specific needs, and which approaches are most helpful and considerations you need to make. A great refresher to update knowledge.
