The book highlights many interesting discussion areas, leading
toward reflection led practice. The need and value of supervision
for those working for the NHS is another interesting area touched
on throughout this book' - A&E 'It is recommended for all
counsellors who work part-time or full-time in healthcare, and will
also be invaluable for many colleagues of these counsellors and
also all those who manage such services. Each chapter is written in
a lively, personal way that invites the reader into a relationship
with the author, raising awareness of the dilemmas counsellors may
face in their work and what they need to support them, especially
training and good supervision. The book represents a significant
step forward in the literature on healthcare counselling and a copy
should find its way into every healthcare library where counselling
is a key part of the delivery of care.' - Healthcare Counselling
and Psychotherapy Journal 'It is recommended for all counsellors
who work part-time or full-time in health-care, and will also be
invaluable for many colleagues of these counsellors and also all
those who manage such services. Each chapter is written in a
lively, personal way that invites the reader into a relationship
with the author, raising awareness of the dilemmas counsellors may
face in their work and what they need to support them, especially
training and good supervision. The book represents a significant
step forward in the literature on healthcare counselling and a copy
should find its way into every healthcare library where counselling
is a key part of the delivery of care.' - HCPJ 'This
thought-provoking book gives contextualisation to the growth area
of counselling in the NHS and elsewhere. Each chapter provides
fascinating personal insights into experiences such as palliative
care, counselling, cancer care, living with HIV/AIDS, young people
and sexual health, counselling in fertility problems and two
chapters on counselling in the mental health services. It explores
the lived experiences of clients and professionals, helping them to
apply theory to practice and giving, rather than detached
observations, intensely personal windows into what actually goes on
between client and counsellor. Despite being centred mostly on
hospital work, the book would be useful for work in the domiciliary
setting, particularly for community psychiatric nurses, school
nurses and for those who specialise in serious, chronic, or
life-threatening conditions.' - Community Practitioner 'I very much
enjoyed reading this book because of the insight it gave me into
the different ways in which counsellors work in health settings.
Such information can be difficult to come by because of
confidentiality issues and when working with individual clients. I
was also touched by the open way in which all the authors wrote
when including personal details and their own reflections on their
work. Throughout this book I found my attention held by the
counsellors' accounts of the way in which they approached their
work with clients, linking with their personal reflections and
comments on their own theoretical perspectives. Each chapter is
written by a different author and includes queries and questions
raised by the difficulties in the work they undertake, such as
balancing the medical model with a person-centred holistic model,
confidentiality issues, and the importance of supervision when
working with very distressed clients. I recommend this book to all
counsellors wishing to gain some insight into counselling in
different settings' - National Association of Cancer Counsellors
Focusing on the experiences of counsellors themselves, this book is
a comprehensive resource for counsellors working in health contexts
and for the health professionals who work with them, and may take
on counselling roles. The contributors, who include clients, health
care workers, psychiatrists and academics as well as counsellors,
show how counselling can and should form an integral part of a
patient's health care, explaining key theoretical considerations
and relevant research and applying these to suggestions for good
practice. They also discuss the needs of counsellors themselves
(for example for supervision and support) and the variety of roles
that counsellors and health care workers are expected to fulfil.
This book will inform and improve the work of professionals in a
range of health care contexts including those working with patients
who have cancer, HIV and AIDS or who are having treatment for
infertility; and in the fields of young people's sexual health and
palliative care.
