A comprehensive survey of counselling is presented with discussion of the three mainstream models of counselling - psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive-behavioural. The final chapter deals with professional issues and offers practical suggestions for setting up a counselling service. Psychologists, psychotherapists, oncologists and nurses will find this book an indispensable guide for helping patients and their families to cope with the difficult experience of cancer.
