Handbook of Counselling Youth
Description
The handbook aims to equip professional and volunteer counsellors to deal effectively with clients in a multi-cultural context. This book examines the traditional psychological theory, recent worldviews on health and well-being, the biopsychosocial/spiritual model, positive psychology, and Afro-centric perspectives on psychopathology. The role of the professional counsellor, present-day counselling theory, and practical counselling interventions and techniques receive attention; and cultural and ethical issues related to counselling interventions are covered. The well-being of the youth in the school context - emphasising ADD, dyslexia and underachievement; and social issues such as rape, teenage pregnancy, divorce, family discord and HIV are examined. Written for SAQA requirements, this volume follows an interactive approach and provides outcomes, ample case studies, pauses for self-reflection, summaries and group and individual activities that enhance learning.
