Abstract:

"Counselling Children is a highly-practical, bestselling guide to skills and strategies which can be used in working with children who are experiencing emotional problems. Written in straightforward terms, the book sets out the authors' model of sequentially-planned integrative counselling for children (SPICC) and describes the specific techniques which practitioners can use to help children: - tell their story and release troubling emotions; - improve self-concept and deal with unhelpful beliefs; - recognize their options and choices; - discover new behaviours, and manage impulsive behaviour. The book also provides guidelines for selecting and using a range of media, play and activities and includes 30 photocopiable worksheets that are featured throughout the book. The worksheets are designed for practitioners to use directly with children to help them explore their feelings and experiences in more depth. Thoroughly revised and updated, this Third Edition features two new chapters on counselling children in groups." -- Publisher's website.
