商品簡介
The second edition of Applied Helping Skills: Transforming Lives is an introductory textbook for helping and counseling skills courses, covering the basic skills necessary to serve and help clients in a therapeutic relationship. Leah Brew and Jeffrey A. Kottler take an experiential, student-centered approach, integrating the knowledge and skill not only into the counselor's experience but in their daily lives as well. By encouraging and teaching the qualities that enrich interpersonal relationships, the counselor naturally becomes a better clinician as these skills become second nature. This book approaches therapy as an art, rather than from a prescriptive diagnostic position, which helps students understand that a skilled therapist looks at every situation and person differently and draws on their embedded skills to best serve the client.
