Counselling People with Diabetes by Richard Shillitoe

Diabetes is an 'invisible' disease, but the struggle to cope with it is a continuous and life-long reality.How do you break the news to parents that their child has developed diabetes?How do you support someone with diabetes and degenerative complications which limit their activities?How can you understand an adolescent with diabetes and in rebellious conflict with their parents? These situations are typical of those routinely faced by health care professionals and many find the psychological aspects of care much harder to deal with than the physical and technical aspects. The book demonstrates how good quality physical care can be combined with good quality psychological care to give comprehensive whole-person care. This book takes you through the steps in the helping process: forming a relationship with the patient, agreeing goals for care, giving advice and information, supporting patients and families and helping them through difficult times. This book is practical, down-to-earth and illustrated throughout by examples.
