Description
Balancing Acts: Studies in Counselling Training by Hazel Johns explores the complexities of counselling training and the balancing act involved in adult learning. The book examines the pressures and stresses faced by trainers, as well as the challenges of co-training and assessment. Through first-hand accounts from practitioners, this study provides a clear analysis of the balancing act involved in any adult learning process. The three main sections delve into key aspects of training, including issues of gender and power, negotiated and reflective learning, and the complexities of group dynamics. By sharing their research and experience as reflective practitioners, counsellors, trainers, and supervisors offer valuable insights into the demands placed upon them during training. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in counselling training and adult education.
