Publisher's Synopsis
In this second edition of "Human Relationship Skills" the author demonstrates how such skills can be learnt, encouraging readers to accept responsibility for developing them and putting them into practice. New to this edition are chapters on what the reader brings to relationships, on choosing relationships and on strengthening them, reflecting the emphasis on people working together rather than alone. This theme is backed up by exercises and suggestions for personal experiments throughout the book which can be worked through by readers on their own, in pairs or in groups.;The book provides a text for students and tutors on courses concerned with human relationships, whether in schools, colleges, polytechnics, universities, the caring professions and voluntary agencies. The book will also appeal to general readers who are concerned with improving their own relationships.
