LISTENING TO THE OTHER
by Caroline Brazier (9781846941917)

In this practical book, Caroline Brazier offers a new perspective on listening skills. Intended as a support to anyone whose professional or voluntary roles involve listening to others, it will have wide appeal to groups such as counsellors, advice workers, nurses, educators, clergy, complementary therapists or voluntary sector workers.
Caroline provides a systematic approach to developing skills. She also explores the role of the listener in different contexts and the particular issues associated with working in situations where the usual boundaries of counselling are not in place. She suggests ways of offering a caring response to others and helping them to move towards healthier ways of relating and functioning in the world.
Written in an easy style which avoids jargon, Listening to the Other contains exercises which the reader may use to integrate the subject matter. Activities are framed in ways which make them accessible to the reader, who is studying alone, but the book is also suitable for groups to follow and to this purpose, some guidance is given on ways of learning and practising skills in a group.
