Counselling Skills in Social Work Practice

A practical guide for applying counselling skills to social work based on Seden's (health and social welfare, Open U.) own experience in the field and in teaching. She offers trainees and practitioners hints and tips, and for examples reworks real situations in a range of local authority, criminal justice, and voluntary sector agencies. They include work with adults, children, and families. Relationships remain at the heart of good social work, she argues. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis. Annotation c.
