Product description

Review

The authors are thorough in their treatment of all aspects of the nature and challenges of adolescence, the fundamentals of the proactive approach to counselling, descriptions of a wide range of skills and strategies, and of how these are to be applied ethically and professionally. The layout is clear and attractive, making it easy to use as a textbook and also for quick reference. Practitioners, student, trainers and lecturers would find this book up to date, interesting and accessible.

Not read the whole book yet but have found some really useful strategies for counselling youngsters - symbolic, creative, behavioural and cognitive and psycho-educational together with some useful and practical case studies.
Recommended reading for those looking for creative strategies in their counselling of youngsters either in youth settings, schools or colleges.
