"An A-Z of Counselling Theory and Practice" presents over 300 separate subjects (alphabetically), and provides the reader with an overview of the principal approaches and skills of counselling. The book avoids long and detailed explanations, but includes enough information to provide insight into the subjects. With an increasing awareness and interest in counselling as a discipline, and in applying the principles to other types of work, this text should enable readers to dip into theory and practice. Four indexes make the material readily accessible as a reference book for those wishing to study specific subjects in more depth. There is a subject index, an index of authors annotated with subjects, a bibliography of over 1000 references and a comprehensive general index annotated with subject. This book should be of interest to a wide range of people wanting to develop their awareness of counselling, including those working in the health care professions, on counselling courses, voluntary sections and charities, welfare organizations, personnel managers, students, practitioners and educationalists.
