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.


4 out of 5 stars Good for the beginning counselor   October 25, 2007
So far, this book is very basic but insightful. Easy to understand with great examples.

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.

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.
