Description

What is counseling and how does it work? Counselling in a Nutshell provides the answers to these questions and more, as part of a step-by-step guide to the counseling relationship and the therapeutic process.

Drawing together theory from the psychodynamic, person-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches, Windy Dryden explores:

  • bonds between counselor and client
  • goals and tasks of counseling
  • stages of the therapeutic process
  • core therapeutic change

This revised and updated second edition also includes new material on person centered and psychodynamic counseling, further discussion of the influence of counseling contexts on the work of counselors, and five discussion issues at the end of each chapter to stimulate thinking.

Counselling in a Nutshell provides a concise introduction to core components of the therapeutic relationship and process and is suitable for counselors of all orientations.

Recent Product Reviews:

This is a great little book which introduces a number of issues within counselling studies in a succinct yet critical style. The discussion questions at the end of each section are particularly useful to allow the reader to reflect on their own attitudes towards the issues raised. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to students who are starting a course in counselling studies, and feel there is sufficient scope for them to return to it again and again throughout their studies.
Mrs Suzi Smale, Psychology, Petroc College
