Counselling is a practical activity. The aim of this book is to
offer a practical framework to enable those who work in the health
profes sions to develop a range of counselling skills. It will also
offer a theoretical grounding that may serve to inform counselling
practice. The book is aimed at any of those people who work in the
health professions: nurses, medical staff, occupational therapists,
physiotherapists, speech therapists, soeial workers, teachers of
various sorts and voluntary workers. It does not seek to provide
information speeific to the work of those groups but aims at
demysti fying counselling and making the skills involved available
to them all. The book assumes that the professional working in a
particular group will already have their own body of knowledge
regarding their work. This book will supplement that knowledge and
extend the range of caring skills. Throughout the book, practical
examples of the prineiples under discussion are offered. These help
to make the abstract concrete. They also serve to apply the skills
described to a variety of health-care settings. A problem arises
over gender and trying to avoid sexist language. I have been unable
to find a solution to it and have referred to the counsellor as she
and the dient as he. No sexism is intended but the usage may have
made for darity and ease of reading."
