Therapists are often called upon to instruct others whether students, colleagues, or the general public. This book provides the information necessary to assist practising, clinical therapists in their teaching role. The approach is practical and down to earth and no previous knowledge or experience of teaching is assumed. The focus is on the adult learner and a wide range of topics is covered including psychological and social factors in teaching and learning, assessment and evaluation. Several teaching methods are also described together with a discussion of their advantages and disadvantages. This book should be interesting reading for all therapists looking for a practical guide to successful teaching.
