摘要:

This paper is concerned with the training of medical and paramedical personnel in the use of counselling skills. It begins by considering the definition of counselling both in terms of the skills involved and the process. Particular attention is given to the framework elaborated by Gerard Egan. A number of questions are then examined which include the selection of trainees, the methods of teaching to be used, the timing and venue of courses and their effectiveness. It is concluded that in Britain this is a very new area, in which there remain many more questions than answers, but that the prospects for exciting research are good.

摘要:

Three broad areas of work are described in this paper. The first is concerned with the nature of psychological processes within the general practice consultation and the indications these provide for skill sharing. In the second section there is an account of courses designed to develop skills in the recognition of psychological aspects of illness and in the detection of psychological problems. The third section outlines various courses for developing and improving the consulting and counselling skills of general practitioners.In addition to describing a range of skills developed by ourselves and others, two general themes emerge from this paper. The first concerns the appropriateness of the general practice setting for the sharing of psychological skills and the extent to which the psychologist may be able to complement the skills of the general practitioner. The second theme concerns the importance of helping general practitioners to identify their own learning needs as an essential first step in deciding how to structure courses to meet these needs.

摘要:

To date clinical psychologists and psychiatrists have given sparse attention to the development of clinical services within general hospitals, despite a literature demonstrating high levels of need. It is argued that attempts to reverse this situation must resolve long‐standing obstacles in attitude and practice within the medical and nursing professions as well as the apparent ambivalence of psychologists and psychiatrists towards the endeavour. If projected developments are to hold credence, planned changes in practice must emphasize a preventive approach towards psychological care and must do this primarily through existing resources; that is, the nursing and paramedical professions. A scheme of psychological care designed to be operated by nurses and other professions is outlined. It depends on teaching and supervision by psychologists and psychiatrists, and it emphasizes the basic skills of monitoring psychological state, caring by informing, emotional care and basic counselling. The absorption of these practices into the daily routine is essential in order that psychological care becomes a standard provision for all seriously ill and injured people. Approaches to training are reviewed and an overview is given of the author's experiences in promoting such a scheme within a renal uni

摘要:

This paper examines the general issues to be considered in training non‐psychologists in the social, health and education services to use a behaviour modification approach in their work. The work in this area is considered in relation to the justification of such training, the personnel involved, the length and content of courses and the methods of teaching. Attention is also given to the evaluation of the effectiveness of the teaching methods including the problems of subsequent maintenance of the knowledge and skills taught. Though behavioural techniques have attracted enormous research efforts, relatively little has been directed at the problems of training personnel in their us

摘要:

Psychiatric nurses are showing increasing interest in acquiring clinical psychology skills. Reasons for meeting this demand and methods of so doing are presented with particular reference to the 18‐month English Nursing Board Course No. 650 in behavioural psychotherapy. The implications of training nurses in psychological skills are discussed. Since resources are generally not available for lengthy training, suggestions are made for increasing the effectiveness of brief course

摘要:

This paper describes a study in which marriage guidance counsellors were trained in the treatment of sexual difficulties. This study is discussed in the wider context of the literature concerned with training issues in the treatment of sexual function problems. The results of the training programme give clear evidence that non‐professionals can be trained to produce results similar to those of a professional and it is argued that issues discussed in the literature concerning the training of professionals in the treatment of sexual difficulties are also applicable to non‐profession

摘要:

The elderly, their supporters and carers are a large group, relatively neglected by psychologists. They appear to have need of training in adaptation skills in areas which include: orientation; activities of daily living; coping with relocation; memory and reminiscence; problem solving; self‐care of health; coping with depression or anxiety; facing bereavement and other loss; and confronting dying. For care staff, promoting independent behaviour in elderly residents, maintaining positive attitudes and implementing organizational change are important, and for supporters effective use of resources and coping with caregiving strain. Reality orientation, behaviour modification, memory and reminiscence training, individual and group counselling, bibliotherapy and psychotherapy have been widely used but rarely evaluated thoroughly. Texts and training programmes for carers and supporters abound, but their effectiveness awaits detailed investigatio

摘要:

This paper briefly describes some of the traditional approaches to teaching psychological skills and self‐help techniques to non‐psychologists. It is stressed that there have been few attempts to teach individuals a broad range of self‐help strategies for dealing with psychological problems. The paper goes on to give a detailed description of a 12‐week course of adult education evening classes designed for this purpose. During the course participants were taught strategies to improve self‐awareness and relationships, to control anxiety, confront fears, reduce worrying thoughts, fight depression and cope with major life changes. In the main it appeared that students were able to assimilate and benefit from the techniques offered. It was concluded that adult education classes are an appropriate way of teaching psychological self‐help, and provide a relevant alternative to more traditional treatment

摘要:

This is a review of attempts made to involve and to train parents in the endeavour of helping their children with special needs. The reasons for parent involvement are discussed, before describing and contrasting the variety of theoretical orientations and parenting skills that have been considered in this work, and the influences of parent and child characteristics. Detailed consideration is given to the methods used in training and their effectiveness. Although parent involvement can be said to be of value, more effort is required in terms of careful conceptualization and more elaborate multivariate research before definite answers may be provided for many of the issues raised.
