Counseling and Helping Skills: Critical Techniques to Becoming a
Counselor provides counselors and other helping professionals with
a complete guide to developing the skills and competencies
necessary to support a diverse spectrum of clients. The text is
divided into two sections. Part I begins with a chapter that
describes nine characteristics of an effective counselor and then
moves on to chapters that examine foundational, essential, and
commonly used skills. Some skills discussed include nonverbal
behaviors, forming an equal relationship, non-pathologizing,
honoring and respecting clients, listening, empathy, affirmation
giving, offering alternatives, self-disclosure, modeling,
collaboration, and more. A separate chapter on
information-gathering and solution-focused questions is provided
next. Part I concludes with a chapter on specialized skills such as
advocacy, assessment for lethality, confrontation,
cognitive-behavioral responses, interpretation, positive
counseling, life-coaching, and crisis, trauma, and disaster
counseling. Part II focuses on treatment issues, including chapters
dedicated to case conceptualization; case management, such as
DSM-5, psychotropic medications, writing case notes, and more;
cultural competency, which describes models of culturally competent
counseling and considerations when working with eleven select
populations; ethical, professional, and legal issues, which
examines the purpose of ethical codes, ethical decision-making, ten
critical areas in ethical codes, vignettes, best practices, and
malpractice insurance. Comprehensive in nature and filled with
valuable insight, Counseling and Helping Skills is ideal for
graduate-level counseling and related programs. It can also be used
by those entering the helping professions to support their
transition into the field and serve as a helpful ongoing reference.
