"The Contact Work Primer" brings the work of Garry Prouty and his associates to a general readership. Covering both Pre-Therapy and contact work, this book is the first English-language publication to introduce the full range of applications, including individual counselling/psychotherapy, institutional psychiatric settings, work with special needs and learning disabilities, and dementia care. For everyone, qualified and unqualified, who wants to be more effective in their work with contact-impaired clients. The most accessible introduction to this most important development in helping. It is suitable for both beginners and higher level students who want a succinct boost to their knowledge of a particular area. Beginners will find the style companionable and reassuring, while more advanced readers will appreciate the incisive and authoritative writing with pointers for further reading and resources.
