Customer Reviews

Helping Skills is helpful
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.

Good for the beginning counselor
So far, this book is very basic but insightful. Easy to understand with great examples.

Helping Skills
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.
