Contracts in Counselling Charlotte Sills
Clear agreements between counsellors and clients are essential before entering into a therapeutic relationship, yet until now very little has been written on this most important subject. This book describes in an accessible way what counselling contracts are, why they are needed, how they are made, and what legal and ethical ramifications they hold.
Discussing different types of contract such as the business contract, the treatment contract and the supervisor's contract, Contracts in Counselling looks at both the benefits and limitations of contracting. Practitioners from different therapeutic fields present their own orientation on the subject, and other contributors describe the most appropriate contracts for different client groups and different settings.
