LIMITED STOCK AVAILABLE!

This book gives down-to-earth examples taken from real life to help the trainer turn theory into practice.

Part I describes how case material and role play can form part of an overall training program and offers step-by-step instructions on how to use or adapt them. Part II comprises over 250 case vignettes and role plays and is further divided into two sections. The first covers core relationship skills such as beginnings and endings, empathy and ethical issues. The second covers practical issues such as loss and bereavement, sexuality and depression. Part II is 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; the focus of counseling.

The Following is taken from Part II of "Case Material and Role Play in Counseling Training"

Part II contains a range of material which can be simplified, expanded and adapted according to the learning needs of your own group. Any of the resource materials can be used as the basis for discussion, or role play, or both.

Sample

The most common form is when the reader is put into the role of counselor or helper and the material describes what the counselor sees of the client's world for example:


• You are a helper at a center for disabled children. Seamus's mother, Mrs. S., ... appears uncharacteristically dishevelled. You want to be understanding and when you reach out to her, tears come to Mrs. S.'s eye.

This we have called the base form. It invites the course member to imagine himself/herself within a helping or counseling relationship and enables him/her to consider not only the client information but also his own inner responses and the constraints and possiblilities of his own workplace.
