Experienced contributors from a varied and diverse background cover issues including:
    * the place of community and voluntary organisations in society at large
    * the nature of counselling in voluntary and community settings
    * containment and holding
    * the nature of the client group and its affect on clinical work
    This book will provide theoretical and practical advice of interest to both experienced practitioners and students considering a placement with a voluntary counselling organisation.
