Counselling Role in Psychosomatic Illness, The

Synopsis

Psychiatrists discuss psychosomatic diseases and the part that social workers, nurses, GPs, health visitors and others can play in the interdisciplinary treatment. Dramatisations demonstrate the counsellor’s contribution to patient diagnosis and treatment, and highlight and display the skills required for effective counselling. The contrast between the more segmented specialist approach and the holistic perception of patient care is also demonstrated.
