Good Practice in Psychotherapy and Counselling

This book addresses the needs of trainees and practitioners in psychotherapy and counselling and provides an understanding of the framework of the therapeutic relationship. The approach is a practical one, covering subjects including managing appointments, the right setting for consultations, referrals, money and the importance of confidentially and clear communication with clients. Case studies are used in the form of vignettes to illustrate and clarify situations faced by those involved in the growing practice of psychotherapy and counselling.
