Synopsis

Allen and Mary Bradford Ivey provide a practical approach that shows beginning counsellors and therapists how to conduct effective interviews using the Iveys' original Microskills approach in this fully-revised edition of their best-selling text. Students learn to master basic listening and influencing skills, how to conduct a full interview using only listening skills, and learn how to adapt Miscroskills and interviewing plans to meet the needs of multicultural clients. Each chapter includes multicultural commentaries and case studies to remind readers that different cultural groups think of the helping process in very different ways and that issues of gender, language, religion, physical disability, affectional orientation, and experience with life trauma (such as child abuse, rape, Vietnam) are factors that should be considered.

About this title

Review

"This is a classic and the best sequenced model for counseling skill development on the current market. I have stated that this text has been used for a number of years at our University and I would hope it would continue to be the main text for our required course in Microcounseling the writing is comfortable, the text flows smoothly, the topics are covered in an appropriate manner, and the accuracy of content is above reproach." " this edition of Intentional Interviewing and Counseling is a valuable addition to the training of counselors because it incorporates the latest narrative approach, as well as contemporary cross-cultural perspectives and gender issues." " an unequalled resource for teaching counseling skills to our new graduate level students. The new edition includes several exciting changes that make the book even better: the story - positive asset - restory - action framework and new material on solution-focused counseling. A delightful textbook in all respects!"
