Developing Counsellor Training

How can therapist training be improved? Focusing on this issue, Developing Counselor Training provides practical guidelines for practitioners involved in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of therapist training programs. The authors explore central issues that face those who are designing or wanting to improve training courses. They offer ideas about how such courses can be better organized, how training methods can be more effective, and how counseling skills can be more appropriately taught. The book also covers areas such as trainers' self-care, working relationships, interpersonal dynamics, and trainees' supervised work with clients. The authors do not minimize the problems involved in starting or running a training course, but they do provide encouraging advice, supported by case studies and examples, showing how difficulties can be successfully overcome.Dryden, Windy is the author of 'Developing Counsellor Training' with ISBN 9780803989436 and ISBN 0803989431.
