Description
Book SynopsisThis text provides examples of the type of clinical experience students are likely to have on their student placements. It illustrates three main theoretical approaches taught to students: psychodynamic, person-centred and behavioural.
Trade Review"This book can greatly improve the knowledge base of health and social care workers...While on its own it cannot create experts it will certainly help the non-initiated to question the quality of their interpersonal skills and, hopefully, to inspire many to work on self-improvement. Mr Wondrak's book is enjoyable and would be a worthy addition to the reading lists of both pre and post-registration education programmes for a number of disciplines, not only nursing." "I hope it will be read and inwardly digested by a large number of people" Health Service Journal
