Training the Counsellor: An Integrative Model Book

Drawing on many years' practical knowledge as a course director, Mary Connor offers down-to-earth guidance and up-to-date information on key issues in counsellor training, including course design, dealing with difficult situations in the trainer/trainee relationship, ethical issues, assessment and research findings. A focal point of her book is a model for training competent and reflective trainers based on the York experience, which uses Egan's skilled helper as its theoretical core. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the trainee's experience of journals which vividly show how the model effects change in the student and the student's feelings about this. Together with its companion volume, Supervising the Counsellor, Training the Counsellor provides a valuable resource for counsellor trainers working in many different contexts and will also be of interest to trainees.Read More
