highly recommended

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.

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.

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.

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. If you follow along with the practices after each chapter you will see how the book is molding you to become a better listener and a better helper.

This book is primarily used for counseling-type classes. However, this book would be useful for anyone that that talks to other people and wants the other person to feel comfortable.

Good for the beginning counselor

So far, this book is very basic but insightful. Easy to understand with great examples.

reviews: page 1, 2

The text presents an integrative approach that is grounded in client-centered, psychoanalytic, and cognitive-behavioral theory. More attention to multicultural issues; new measures to text the training model which allow students to evaluate their skills and level of confidence and a revised structure of the Action stage which will enable instructors to present easily more of the current thinking about this area are all new additions to this text.
