Praise for the First Edition: `An interesting overview of medical
and psychiatric issues that may arise for counsellors... readable,
lucid and free of jargon. The issues addressed include referral and
assessment, ongoing counselling and supervision, medical conditions
and their treatment, psychiatric conditions and their treatment,
and ethical and legal issues... it raises awareness of some
important issues to consider when working with clients with medical
and psychiatric conditions' - British Journal of Guidance and
Counselling Medical or psychiatric issues frequently arise during
counselling and counsellors need to equip themselves with the
knowledge and skills to respond appropriately. Medical and
Psychiatric Issues for Counsellors, Second Edition is the perfect
guide to this challenging area of practice. It provides a clear
introduction to: " the nature of mental illness, " the relationship
between mental and physical health and " the role of counselling in
relation to both. Highly practical and right up-to-date, this
Second Edition examines how to manage medical or psychiatric issues
as they emerge, whether during assessment or at a later stage in
the counselling process. Guidance is given on: " how to recognise
serious mental health problems " the effects of psychiatric drugs "
assessement and referral to other services, and " legal and ethical
issues. The Second Edition covers changes in the context of
counselling practice - particularly in health care settings - such
as the use of tools to measure outcomes, evidence-based practice
and clinical governance. The common principles of care and working
with other professionals are also explored. This Second Edition is
essential reading both for counsellors in health care settings and
those practising in more general contexts. It is also suitable for
all mental health workers needing a clear, practical introduction
to working with clients. Brian Daines is an independent
practitioner, Clinical Tutor in Psychosexual Medicine at University
