Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Exploration, Insight, and Action: these concepts drive the basic three-step process that this textbook introduces as a way of teaching helping skills to undergraduate and first-year graduate students. Incorporating client-centered, psychoanalytic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, this practical guide recognizes the critical roles of affect, cognition, and behavior in the change process. The authors emphasize the complex interaction between helper and client, enabling students to quickly gain a sense of how and when to intervene from moment to moment in an actual clinical setting. Numerous tables, clinical examples, handy lists, and helpful hints supplement the text, making this an easily referenced, highly practical study guide.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Helping Skills is helpful
This text is being used in my masters level essentials for interviewing class. I am finding the text to be useful, although it is filled with a lot of percentages which for me becomes a little overwhelming. All in all some very good information.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good for the beginning counselor
So far, this book is very basic but insightful. Easy to understand with great examples.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Helping Skills
As the new semester has just begun, I have had limited exposure to this book, but what has already become apparent is the no-nonsense, easy way in which this text is written. I am a full-time student who has so much text book reading to do, so it is a real pleasure to have a required reading that is so straight forward while being also very imformative. I wish all my reading was this great.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for Experiential Learning
This book leads the reader through a three stage model of helping: exploration, insight, and action. This book is incredibly well-balance between Rogerian, psychodynamic, and CBT skill sets. If you just pick up the book and read it may seem like it is simplistic; however, the high quality of the book is that it gives the readers several activities to practice the skills in the book. Things that seem easy, like restating what someone just said, become difficult when you try to do it in practice. ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Clear and easy to read.
This is the textbook for a Clinical Psychology in the Community course. It's very clear and simple to read. The author provides details of how best to establish a helping relationship, as well as the pitfalls.
