Summary:

How can social workers, psychologists and counsellors improve communication with their clients? What can these facilitators do to enhance their listening and empathic skills? How can they create an environment of trust in which clients - be they individuals, groups or communities - can develop effectively?

This revised and updated edition of Person-Centred Facilitation: Process, theory and practice demonstrates how facilitators can practice according to the values of the person-centred approach developed by Carl Rogers. The book is aimed at students taking counselling facilitation courses in Social Work. Students are given a solid theoretical grounding on which to draw, both in an exam situation and later in practice when they need to solve problems during the counselling process.

Person-Centred Facilitation: Process, theory and practice third edition considers the four phases of the facilitation process:

Creating a safe space for facilitation

Facilitating unsymbolised experiences

Reconstruction of the self

Ending the process.

Chapters are regrouped to support students' logical progression in learning and understanding. The book starts by looking at how the person-centred approach is used in the facilitation process with an individual, and then considers its application to groups and communities.

Updated examples contextualise the abstract concepts, ensuring that students acquire a thorough understanding of Rogers' theory and its relevance in practice.

Activities inspire students to look critically at their selves and their motivations enabling them to guide the development of others, and confront personal hindrances to the facilitation process. Book jacket.
