What is it like to live with a chronic illness? How can counselors
support those living with one? Allan Hugh Cole Jr. offers answers
to these two questions and so many more in Counseling Persons with
Parkinson's Disease. In ten succinct chapters, Cole offers a
glimpse into life with Parkinson's and presents an insightful
approach to counseling someone living with a chronic illness. Cole
was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2016, and-though it
hardly happened overnight-he has since discovered a new passion and
drive for life. A teacher of social workers and counselors for many
years, Cole has unique insight into chronic illness and the care
required to help someone diagnosed with one. He delves into the
importance of accepting a chronic illness and how this can create
an opportunity for personal transformation, newfound meaning, and
rejuvenated purpose. In addition to emphasizing the importance of
self-reflection, he also offers evidence-based approaches to
counseling. Cole's approaches to counseling draw on task-centered
social work practice. Throughout the book, he engages with five
purposeful actions tied to principles of constructivism,
Aristotelian thought, American pragmatism, and theories of
interpretation (hermeneutics). At once informative, realistic,
humorous, and hopeful, this is a thoughtful guide for clinicians
who give counsel, educators who teach counseling, people supporting
someone else, and anyone living with a chronic illness.
