C ounselling is a skill-based activity requiring appropriate psychological under- standing of the whole process. In the Asian context, the relationships between counsellor and client, and even the personal qualities of the counsellor, are often different from Western models.

This book is part of the endeavour to produce materials and contribute to the pool of resources within Asia for counselling develop- ment. It offers a practical and uncomplicated approach in counselling, applying the four steps in problem solving. The reader is not only provided knowledge and skills, but ways of dealing with difficult situations in counselling.

Practical applications from case studies make this an important introduction to counsel- ling and a useful resource for those already involved in counselling.
