Synopsis
Mental health counselors who work in medical settings will find much that is familiar in this collection of first-hand accounts. The authors are counselors who work within the National Health System in the UK; there are also accounts written by patients. Etherington (counseling, U. of Bristol) has gathered accounts that deal with specific illnesses, such as AIDS, as well as more general issues, such as discussing sexuality with teenagers. Each essay concludes with a bibliography.
