Publisher's Synopsis
In this application-oriented book, William A. Wallace and Donald L. Hall help students learn ’’how to do’’ consultation by breaking down the theories and processes of psychological consultation into specific skills and applications. The focus of the book is more on the practical than other books for the course; for example, the book offers useful strategies for dealing with resistance, the most consistent problem in consultation. And, flexible and alternate views of consultation are provided, rather than absolute instructions or descriptions. In addition, ethical and legal dilemmas are discussed as they relate to the practice of consultation, and a "look ahead" identifies current trends and future professional issues that will likely influence the consultation field.
