Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This practical and comprehensive guide demonstrates the essential interpersonal skills and techniques - including reflecting, paraphrasing, summarizing and empathy - which can be used to counsel the depressed person. The book explores the complexities of the depressive experience and examines the central issues of abandonment, sense of failure, powerlessness, shame and guilt inherent in the nature of depression. Paul Gilbert illustrates the absolute need for the counsellor to be aware of the fragility and negativity of the depressive state and focuses on the importance for both client and counsellor of the therapeutic relationship and the role of the guided discovery. Using carefully chosen illustrations and case examples, Gilbert traces the steps appropriate at different stages in the counselling process and shows how the counsellor can help the client to change, and to take over the whole method of change, in order to cope independently. A final section looks at the special problems which arise in depressed clients. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Kitemarked by the TTA `It will be a welcome companion to the many activity-related primary science programmes which have been published in the last ten years in England. It will fill a gap for teachers of primary science world wide too, as its examples are most generally available, and, though it complements The National Curriculum, it is not tied uniquely to it, either in the language it uses or the topics it includes' - International Science Journal `The author has written a fine book which is a bold attempt to offer information and guidance to those teachers who declare a lack of confidence in their background knowledge of science' - Primary Science Review `A publication such as this was long overdue and will be warmly welcomed by many. Highly recommended for schools and primary student teachers' - Child Education Based on the requirements of The National Curriculum but not confined to them, the book sets out the facts, develops the concepts and explains the theories needed to understand the observations and investigations which children at primary level are likely to undertake. The aim has been to meet the needs of all primary teachers and their pupils, including those working towards the Attainment Targets at levels 4 and 5, as set out in the Statutory Orders issued in January 1995. This has meant a fundamental rethink of the way in which many science topics are approached and developed, in order to avoid the use of ideas and theories which are too abstract and remote from children's and teachers' own experience. Ideas and explanations are supported throughout by practical examples and demonstrations, most of which can be readily adapted for use in the classroom. The text does not assume a great deal of specialized scientific knowledge, but it does assume that readers will be willing to try things out for themselves and think again about experiences which they and their pupils may at present take for granted. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. `I wish that this useful book had been available during my years as an early years co-ordinator and teacher in charge of a nursery unit. All aspects of nursery teaching are analyzed in depth, and the author leaves the reader in no doubt about the specialist skills and versatility needed to be a nursery teacher or leader. I found the book absorbing and was particularly interested in the practical solutions to some of the difficult problems nursery teachers encounter. As well as being a fascinating book to read, it is also a valuable reference tool and ideal for planning training sessions in aspects of nursery management, such as policy writing, monitoring quality, providing equal opportunities, planning and assessment. There are useful summaries and discussion prompts at the end of each chapter. It is obvious that the author has experienced the joys and frustrations of nursery teaching and is able to give excellent advice to others in the same position. The book is a must for all nursery teachers/leaders and would be useful to those working or training to work within early years classrooms.

More and more teachers, not initially trained for the age group, have found themselves working with nursery-aged children, but their need for support has gone largely unrecognized.
