Praise for Learning the Art of Helping
“Young’s long experience as a therapist and training mentor is evident throughout as he leads the novitiate into the essentials of helping....the inclusion of structured reflection opportunities permits the learner to become a participant/observer along the route the author has taken.”
– Deborah J. Youngman,Boston University
“[The text] stands out as a result of the nice flow between the chapters [which] actually mirrors the students’ learning process, the dialogue style that addresses the reader directly, the numerous [opportunities for] self-assessment, [and its] liberal use of client-helper dialogue with examples of good and bad responses. It is a one-stop shop for the beginning helper.”
– Brigitte Matthies,California State University, Los Angeles
