What is it that makes a counsellor or psychotherapist competent? In
Competence and Self-Care in Counselling and Psychotherapy, Gerrie
Hughes offers a framework for understanding what being competent
means for individual practitioners, both generally and in
moment-by-moment work with clients. Divided into two sections, Part
One, The Competent Self, and Part Two, Care of the Self, the book
explores care and replenishment of the self as an essential
requirement for maintaining competence. The Competence Framework
presented here suggests that the three elements of Practitioner,
Client and Context are essential factors for making good
therapeutic choices, as well as offering a structure for
reflection, either individually or in supervision. The eight
principles that elaborate on these elements provide a route to
explore competence that is relevant for any theoretical orientation
and appropriate for practitioners at any stage. The reader is
encouraged to make their own exploration of a number of factors
that influence competence and to identify development of the self
as both a necessary preparation for therapeutic work and as a
continuing outcome of being a therapist. In addition, Hughes
emphasises the importance of having a sound ethical framework and
utilising professional structures as well as examining the
contribution of supervision to the development and maintenance of
competence. This book is an ideal choice for counsellors,
psychotherapists, supervisors and trainers who wish to maintain a
robust standard of practice, and for those employing them.
Written by an experienced psychotherapist, this book provides
professionals in the fields of health and wellbeing with a guide to
human relationships with food, and their impact on mental health.
Acknowledging how food choices profoundly effect a person's
experience in the world, Gerrie Hughes offers knowledge and support
around how to understand and negotiate the relationship between
food and mind. Chapters offers facts, information and theories on
key topics such as self-image, 'good' nutrition, sustainability and
rituals. Each chapter uses vignettes, case studies and reflective
activities to stimulate thought about the reader's own assumptions
and experience and offer approaches to how they might use their
expertise with the people with whom they work. Providing an
accessible and easy to read guide into the role food plays in our
lives, this book will be of interest to a range of healthcare
practitioners, including mental health nurses, occupational
therapists, psychotherapists, and counsellors.
