The book begins with an overview of the main issues of counselling and communication in health care professions, and looks at the importance of self-care from both a personal and organizational perspective. Basic counselling and communication skills are then discussed, followed by their application to specialised settings including sexual health, child health, infertility and rehabilitation. The book also includes an examination of the use of narratives and the Myers-Briggs.

Here is a detailed examination of Elizabeth Anscombe's revolutionary work in the philosophy of human action. Anscombe's place in the history of analytical philosophy is critically examined taking into consideration the influence other philosophers had on her thinking, philosophers such as Wm. James, Kant, Bertrand Russell, Saul Kripke, Hans Reichenbach, R. Chisholm, Donald Davidson and others. In addition, issues of causation - such as her criticism of Hume - are considered in some detail.
