What is counselling 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 counselling relationship and the therapeutic process.

o bonds between counsellor and client
o goals and tasks of counselling
o stages of the therapeutic process

Easy to carry about and easy to search, the text builds on working alliance theory based on the work of Bordin, in which counseling can be looked upon as comprising a number of important domains, bonds, goals tasks and views, with the emphasis being on what happens between a counselor and client within those domains." -- Reference & Research Book News
