theoretical a, yet practical' - "Healthcare Counselling and
Psychotherapy Journal
"
Counselling and the Life Course introduces counsellors to the
concept of the life course as a multidimensional and
multidisciplinary framework for thinking about clients' lives
within and beyond the counselling setting. It aims to give
counsellors an understanding of human development, and how it
impacts practically upon their work with clients.
The book engages with the tension between, on the one hand,
recognizing age and life stage as important dimensions of
difference, and on the other, avoiding the pitfalls of age
stereotyping and ageist discrimination. At the same time,
Counselling and the Life Course shows how the concept of the life
course can be used as a framework for considering the commonalities
between different life stages. This provides a focus for
counsellors of how to draw on their existing skills and expertise
when working with clients of a different age and life stage to
those with whom they generally meet. The impact of both counsellor
and client age on the counselling relationship is also
considered.
The book includes an Activity Trail' of structured exercises in
order to encourage reflection on the concepts discussed and their
relevance to clients, the readers themselves, and their counselling
practice.
