520 _aWorking with risk is a reality for counsellors and psychotherapists. A sound understanding of risk and the practical skills for addressing it are therefore essential. In this book, Andrew Reeves explains the meaning of risk in counselling and psychotherapy, showing that rather than just a feature of therapy that either is or isn't present, it is in fact threaded through the therapeutic process. Offering practical advice and links to research and policy to inform ethical practice, the book tackles: The definition of risk and how risk is linked to social, psychological and relational factors. Work with those who are at risk of suicide, self-injury, self-harm and/or are a risk to others. Risk in situations involving child protection and mental health crises. Risks that can arise in the therapeutic process, such as boundary violation. Risks to the therapist, such as poor self-care. Working with risk proactively and the importance of positive risk-taking. Filled with case studies and points for reflection, this is an essential resource for counsellors and psychotherapists, as well as those working in other helping professions. Book jacket
