Books in the Questions And Answers For Counsellors And Therapists (Whurr) series

This book is unique in that it specifically addresses the concerns that counsellors and psychotherapists may have about the mental health of their clients. It is published at a time of significant change in the management and treatment of mental illness both within the UK and internationally.

Provides an outline of the law relating to counselling and psychotherapy, for use by trainees, therapists, trainers, supervisors and managers.

Supervision is a prerequisite for all counsellors, and for most psychotherapists, yet it has been assumed that any experienced counsellor or therapist could become a supervisor without any special expertise. But the experience of those in supervision is sometimes of inadequate or even unhelpful work by their supervisors.

Explores key areas of working with adult survivors of childhood abuse that in the author's experience as a practitioner, trainer, and supervisor are frequent concerns of those working in this field.
