Synopsis:

Over 450 databased studies and years of field testing attest to the effectiveness of the Microskills model. This hallmark text enables students of many backgrounds to master basic skills in a step-by-step fashion, thus rapidly empowering them to conduct a full interview using listening skills. Along the way, they are challenged to re-evaluate their current behaviors and perceptions, thus gaining valuable insight about themselves, their strengths, and the areas where they can develop further. By the time they finish reading the text, they will have the ability to adapt their skills to meet both individual and multicultural uniqueness, conduct interviews using five different theoretical approaches, and be well on their way to developing a personalised style and theory of interviewing and counseling that matches their own aptitudes and affinities.

Review: "I found each chapter to be excellent, much improved over prior editions. Key strengths: multicultural infusion, addresses spirituality, accessible, utilizes strength-based approach, allows students to contemplate their own ideas about helping and integrate them with theories, lots of case examples, useful exercises...I would use this text because it provides concrete examples of how to help effectively and takes into consideration cultural factors, because it comes with a CDROM, because it encourages students to develop their own styles."
