As the demand for tighter professionalism
grows in the complementary healing world, and government regulation
increases, a more skilled approach to counselling patients has
become priority. Few practitioners over the past 30 years have
used more than basic listening skills as part of their clinical
work - because they were not taught counselling techniques. This
book seeks to change this. |
