Description - Counselling Young Binge Drinkers by Richard Bryant-Jefferies
LIVING THERAPY SERIES Young binge drinkers are becoming more and more common in society today. By using case studies with fictitious clients this timely and much needed book offers the reflective thoughts and feelings of both client and counsellor in a user-friendly format. Counsellors and psychotherapists who practise or are interested in the person-centred approach will find this book invaluable - particularly those who work with young people. It also provides vital information for youth leaders teachers and parents of young people and counsellors and therapists in training. 'A valuable resource. Moves beyond the traditional academic approach that limits the transfer of knowledge to a restricted audience. Brings together theory and practice that is relevant to the practitioner and the layman alike. Shed[s] light on the complexity of the issues that underlie persistent and destructive self-harming behaviours. The book is written to appeal to a spectrum of audiences including supervisors practitioners students and laypersons.' Robin Everall in her Foreword 'Clearly imagined. Well written. Vivid.
This book opens a window to the reader to see and feel the intricacies of individual psychotherapy and counselling. The description of the process is fascinating - capturing as it does so much of the uncertainties and the doubts as well as the breakthroughs the moments of connection and illumination that make the whole experience so worthwhile. There are so many ways in which readers can engage with this book - through absorbing themselves in the dialogues through taking notes of the various general comments on theory and practice that the author inserts from time to time into the text and through considering various interesting points for discussion that he poses at the end of every chapter - not least the question 'Would you have taken a different approach?' In this respect this book can be of value to any student of psychotherapy and counselling what ever approach is being followed.' Peter Wilson in his Foreword 'Outstanding. Extremely well written. This is a brilliant book. Richard Bryant-Jefferies certainly demonstrates the usefulness of a person-centred approach and what he says goes far beyond just one method of counselling. Exceptionally good.very true to life both to counselling life and the real life of young binge drinkers.
The style is extremely informative but it also reads like a can't-put-it-down novel.'
