Full Description
The only comprehensive interviewing and counseling text grounded in a strong multi-theoretical foundation
Structured around CACREP standards, Essential Interviewing and Counseling Skills Second Edition uniquely encompasses both theory and practice from the perspectives of a diverse array of theoretical schools and practice strategies. While continuing to disseminate counseling fundamentals, the second edition focuses extensively on the acquisition of robust interviewing and counseling skills including special preparation for the initial assessment and counseling session. It is also distinguished by its integration of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic therapy approaches. Throughout, the text emphasizes the importance of multicultural humility and a multicultural orientation to counseling—including challenging students to examine their own backgrounds and biases. This latest edition also addresses key aspects of telehealth that have come to the fore during the COVID pandemic.
The use of case examples throughout highlights multiple theoretical approaches and illustrates how to integrate a wide range of perspectives. With an emphasis on counseling clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, each chapter focuses on strategies for working with varied populations, with an emphasis on intersectionality. The authors consider many forms of diversity including race, ethnicity, immigration, and country of origin along with age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, language, and physical and cognitive abilities. Purchase includes digital access for use on most mobile devices or computers. Updates to the instructor's resources include an Instructor's Manual, Power Points and a new test bank.
