| Summary |
"Illustrated with case studies throughout, this book examines the experience of carers, considers the special characteristics of carers as a population, and considers how help may best be provided by those who are involved in a professional helping role. It is designed to enhance helpers' basic counselling and helping skills, and to help them recognise and respond to the carer's difficult task of negotiating the complex path from crisis to coping. It will be an invaluable guide for all helpers who encounter carers as part of their day to day work, whether volunteers or professionals." "Counselling and Helping Carers has been written for all those who work with carers, including: medical and nursing staff, social workers, care assistants, health visitors, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and workers in non-statutory organizations."--BOOK JACKET |
