Publisher's Synopsis
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.
