商品簡介
Featuring a clean, readable layout and many individual, pair, and group activities in each chapter, this introductory text is intended not only for students and professionals in counseling and psychotherapy, but also for those in various other professional and volunteer settings. It is also accessible to general readers. Part 1 introduces the roles of counselors, psychotherapists, and helpers, outlines the counseling and helping process, and looks at counseling and helping relationships and their related communication skills and mind skills. The rest of the book is broken down into stages of the counseling and helping process: the relating stage, the understanding stage, and the changing stage. Skills examined include managing resistance, assessing feelings and physical reactions, coaching skills, and termination. The final section addresses further considerations, such as relaxation interventions, managing crises, multicultural and gender awareness, and using technology in counseling. The book includes an extensive glossary. Nelson-Jones is retired from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
