Synopsis

An excellent guide to interviewing in the helping professions, ESSENTIALS OF INTENTIONAL INTERVIEWING, 2nd Edition delivers a more concise and accessible version of the Iveys' bestselling INTENTIONAL INTERVIEWING AND COUNSELING. Ideal for beginning helpers, the Second Edition retains the authors' proven Microskills model of teaching vital interviewing skills step by step. Its multicultural focus reflects the diverse nature of today's society. It also integrates the five systems of helping--person-centered, decisional counseling, brief counseling, crisis counseling, and coaching--and includes new content addressing such critical topics as psychoeducational skills and Internet counseling.

About this title

Review

"This text is especially relevant for social workers as it incorporates strengths and wellness perspectives, and looks at the individual within a broader multicultural and person in relation to their environment context."

"The Iveys return us to the essentials of interviewing, counseling and psychotherapy. Furthermore, they do this by emphasizing the most important part of effective helping, listening and the ability to enter the world of the client; and by gently adding to this other essential skills such as confrontation, interpretation, and directives."

"I am especially impressed with the fact that the book has a multicultural thread/focus throughout the book. The book more than adequately cover the skills/techniques and knowledge needed in the counseling field. The case examples are excellent and make difficult concepts easier to grasp and understand. I would highly recommend this book as an undergraduate text for counseling and social work courses."
