Case Material and Role Play in Counselling Training

Following the rapid rise in counseling training, this book is the long awaited answer to the demand for an accessible and practical guide to designing a course and enlivening trainings sessions. Part One describes how case materials and role play can form part of an overall training program and offers step-by-step instructions on how to adapt and use them. Part Two, which includes over 250 case vignettes and role plays, is divided into two sections. The first covers core relationship skills such as beginnings and endings, empathy and ethical issues. The second covers practice issues such as loss and bereavement, sexuality and depression. These sections are cross-referenced so that readers looking for particular materials can select them according to the work setting of their client group, the age of their client group, the stage of the relationship or the focus of counseling.
