About this title

Synopsis

Filled with examples, case studies, and exercises, this practical resource is designed to help readers become familiar with the full range of interviewing, assessment, and intervention skills essential to practitioners. Reflecting many of the changes taking place in the training and delivery of counselling and psychological services in the '90s, this revision of the Cormiers' best-seller now includes increased emphasis on multicultural issues and diversity, coverage of the transition to "managed" mental health care through various HMOs, increased coverage that reflects the trend toward holistic treatment and health care services, a chapter on "Knowing Yourself as a Counselor" that guides readers toward self-awareness, and coverage of client process and outcome evaluation skills necessary for mastering today's treatment planning guidelines.

Review

"Interviewing and Change Strategies for Helpers, 5/e represents a very strong combination of introduction to the basic skills for helping professionals and the basics of cognitive behavioral interventions. The material is very well ordered, clear, and represents a major update from the prior editions of the text. This edition is particularly strong on the issues of diversity and culture, evidence-based treatments, and treatment planning. The text brings in the realities of providing services under managed care environments." "I applaud the new title. Much more accurate and engaging...achieves the right balance of breadth and depth...very much appreciate the discussion of professional development in Chapter 1, as well as the emphasis on self-awareness and critical thinking in Chapter 2. These are the very things that we stress in our MSW program. Bravo for early inclusion of material on cultural competence and diversity. Its infusion throughout the book is palpable and important."
