Discourses of Counselling

In this book David Silverman offers a fully researched and analytically sensitive account of how counselling, as a process, is dynamically constructed through the interaction of counsellor and client. Drawing on research on counselling of clients undergoing an HIV test, the author explores the ways in which conversations between counsellors and patients reflect, embody and subtly alter assumptions about the purpose, methods and practice of counselling.

First sentence: As this chapter will show, there is no simple answer to the question: what is HIV counselling?
