Overview

School is often a pressured environment where personal problems and peer group tensions arise, but have no time or place to be properly addressed. As a result, pupils' need for pastoral support and care is great, especially approaching and during that most challenging of developmental stages: being a teenager. Brief Counselling in Schools, Second Edition is a practical guide to providing help and support to young people experiencing difficulties in home and school life. Recognizing the constraints of working within school settings, the book illustrates how counselling can nevertheless be effective, even when time is short and confidentiality is hard to preserve.Based on a method of brief integrative counselling that can be adapted for the range of problems which pupils bring to counselling, and illustrated with rich and varied case material, the chapters look at issues of: self-esteem depression and suicidal thoughts bullying parental separation and step-parent conflict loss and bereavement spiritual concerns smoking, drug and alcohol use, and sexuality.This fully updated Second Edition includes a brand new chapter covering anger, aggression and violence in schools. In addition, the chapter on ethical boundaries now includes information on new legislation regarding counselling in schools (including current British child protection law and the BACP ethical framework). Brief Counselling in Schools will be invaluable to those offering counselling within schools: both trained counsellors and those involved in teaching and education welfare who are developing their skills in this area.
