Download or read book Counselling and Psychotherapy in Primary Health Care written by Jan Wiener and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1998-11-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From small beginnings in the 1970s, counselling in primary care has now become an established area of practice. It is well recognised that a significant proportion of patients in primary health care have psychological difficulties which are treatable at the 'coal face' before they develop into major problems. Mental health services can now reach a wider population more quickly with cost-effective therapeutic benefits. This text examines the intra - and inter-personal dynamics of primary care essential for counsellors and psythotherapists working in health centres and considers the advantage of multi-disciplinary and multi-agency collaboration. The progressive approach will be of interest to all who work in primary care. They will recognise in it many of their day-to-day working dilemmas, especially in trying to balance the tension between commitment to individual patients and the demands of the wider organisation. Case illustrations are used to demonstrate the challenges and teamwork opportunities for both counsellors and doctors who work collaboratively. This book is essential reading for counsellors and psychotherapists who work in primary care and for the doctors and health authorities who employ them.

This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers two distinct yet related topics: the primary care setting and the counselling carried out within it, and it can be dipped into or read straight through. Part One, using psychodynamic and systems theory, explores the holding environment of primary care, the interpersonal relationships within the primary care team, and other variables affecting counselling in a medical organisational setting. Part Two takes the counsellor through the 'how' of using psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approaches within short-term contracts in this setting. Case studies and scenarios are given to illustrate these. The counsellor is guided through assessing the patient's counselling needs either within a psychodynamic or CBT model or to formulate a 'tailor-made' short-term contract, using elements drawn from psychodynamic, CBT, and supportive counselling.

Download or read book Time Limited Therapy in Primary Care written by Richard Bryant-Jefferies and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many counsellors who work in primary care find it difficult to explain to colleagues in the primary care team what they actually do with clients behind the closed door of their room. In this book the author brings to life in a gripping way what really does go on when a counsellor sees a patient in the primary healthcare setting. It’s good to read for once a book that describes so realistically and movingly the minute-by-minute account of what actually happens, not a book describing clever therapists getting it right all the time. The book should be required reading for newly appointed non-clinical managers of counselling services and for primary healthcare staff about to start working with a counsellor as a member of their team." — Graham Curtis Jenkins in his Foreword

Download or read book Primary Healthcare Counselling written by Grace Otoo and published by Athena PressPub Company. This book was released on 2003 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored counselling as a 'new product' within the conceptual framework of 'product innovation' in primary health care settings. A review of previous work on psychological distress in primary care and counselling in Primary Care was undertaken. A methodical strategy that included interviews and questionnaires was devised to explore the organisational, practice and evaluative domains of counselling in Primary Care. Within the organisational domain, the perceptions of counselling in Primary Health Care held by different members of the primary health care team were explored by questions distributed to one hundred and twenty primary care practices in the north west of the UK. Widespread variations to perceptions of the role of the counsellor were identified. Counsellors perceived difficulties in integrated multi-disciplinary working due to cultural restraint to the relatively new profession. The 'practice domain' was explored via a questionnaire study of counsellors in Primary Health Care and a thematic analysis of archival data of first interviews between counsellor and clients in Primary Health Care was used to explore the complex or problematic processes in routine care settings that were regularly encountered by the counsellor. Two different methodologies evaluating counselling in Primary Health Care were used to explore the evaluative domain. The study looked at development and adaption. It was found that individuals with interest in counselling in primary health care need to look into the future and consider the above influences lest we get carried away by enthusiasm, extravagant research or by dismay into dogged reaction.
