Discusses interviewing techniques in a social work/mental health context, from preparing for and welcoming a client, through focused attending, verbal and nonverbal cues of listening, support and empathy, techniques for exploration and elaboration, assessment and working agreements, creating new perspectives and/or behavior change, and issues pertaining to the clinical relationship itself, such as self-disclosure and boundaries. Most of the topics are linked to an illustrative clip on the videotape. The book also offers role-playing exercises and writing assignments. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

"I am very excited about having the skill-building component in a student-purchased videotape. And no, I would not have the students purchase the video alone because it is coordinated with the text so beautifully. Interviewing in Action approaches the clinical process from a humanistic perspective of valuing the strengths inherent in each client. The text is combined with a video demonstrating essential clinical skills, an invaluable tool for teaching clinical skills. The text covers a variety of therapeutic encounters, not just traditional therapy delivered in a private practice or clinic setting. In short, Interviewing in Action gives the beginning clinician a compact package of the essential tools and models needed to begin therapeutic interventions."
