Demystifying the Counseling Process: A Self-help Handbook for CounselorsThis informal, user-friendly book is intended to provide a journey for author and reader along some of the less-traveled roads of counseling. This book offers insight into some overlooked aspects of counseling, from subtle considerations of initial client contact to the preservation of the counselor's own vitality in a demanding profession. Topics covered in this journey include: attention to the powerful aspects of the language we choose to use; the elements of teaching that are integral to counseling; ethical and moral issues of concern; and potential pitfalls of a profession that draws from the essence of the counselor. For practicing psychologists and counselors. |
