Summary "This book is written for practitioners such as teachers, doctors, community workers, nurses and social workers, whose counselling role is embedded within other work functions. A framework is introduced that allows the reader to draw on knowledge and competencies from their own personal and professional experience, as well as from a range of approaches to counseling, which will help them to help others." "This book is key reading for people working in helping, managing or supervisory roles: it provides efficient and ethical strategies that will improve their ability to assist or advise others. It is also of use to counsellors and counselling students who wish to develop a better understanding of their craft."--BOOK JACKET
