The helping process is well described in a practical and useful way. The framework instills confidence in the reader, and the basic skills are portrayed in concrete, meaningful, interesting and accessible ways. The reader is given clear guidance about what to do, as a basis for practicing the skills to be learnt. As such, the book has a great deal to offer the trainee counsellor, and it is a valuable resource for the counselling or psychotherapy tutor. It is also potentially very valuable to other professions, such as medicine, nursing or teaching, as a way of enhancing their communication skills." --British Journal of Medical Psychology "A valuable addition to the existing books on counselling skills, probably the greatest value of this book will be to new students of counselling, helping them to identify and practice the skills they are learning. However, its very easy, accessible style will make it a welcome addition to many a bookshelf." --BPS Counselling Psychology Review« less
