o an introduction to relationship counselling theory and concepts

o discussion of the importance of relying on a clearly defined theory of change

o ways to address parenting issues

o an exploration of confidentiality, disclosing inappropriate behaviour and personal safety.

Their practical guide integrates individual and subgroup counselling with whole-family counselling, providing much-needed material on methods and approaches for communicating with children and young people.
