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.

A companion book, Helping Skills: The Empirical Foundation is also available for purchase.

Book Review

The authors blend empirical evidence, therapy experience, and years of training counselors in developing one of the most comprehensive efforts to introduce students into the myriad of complexities of helping other people resolve stressful life problems.
—Puncky Paul Heppner, PhD, Professor, Department of Educational Counseling Psychology, University of Missouri-Columbia, and Editor of The Counseling Psychologist
