Experiential Training explores how to train people in areas which are emotionally and intellectually challenging. The topics examined - death and dying, sexuality, coping with stress, styles of communication - present a challenge to most people. Expert contributors provide detailed descriptions of how to design and organise appropriate courses for these and related areas, giving the reader a lively idea of the nature of this challenging approach.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`... will be of enormous value to all those involved in teaching and training others working in the `caring or other interpersonally-orientated profession. It successfully manages the difficult task of conveying practical information about how to run workshops as well as conveying a strong impression of what it is like to conduct and participate in this type of training event. As such, it is likely to generate confidence and enthusiasm in potential trainers. A highly recommended book. - British Journal Psychiatry

`This is a text which will be useful to a broad range of educationalists and trainers, and also to students and trainees. Reading the book will naturally not guarantee improved learning or training - its central theme is that doing is essential to learning - but it will almost certainly promote the chances of success. - David Griffiths, Director of the South Wales In-service Training Course in Clinical Psychology

`This is a book which will restore the appetite of the most jaded New Year trainer. It is well put together with comprehensive lists of references and a logical structure. - Philip Kirby, Times Educational Supplement

`...we can learn much from this detailed account of good practice based on sound theory. - The Samaritan
