Interviewing and Change Strategies for Helpers

by Sherry Cormier

Fully updated and streamlined to be used more easily within the parameters of several quarters or a given semester, INTERVIEWING AND CHANGE STRATEGIES FOR HELPERS, Seventh Edition offers readers an introduction to the knowledge, skills, values, and tools needed by today's professional helpers. The authors' conceptual foundation reflects four critical areas for helpers: core skills and attributes, effectiveness and evidence-based practice, diversity issues and ecological models, and critical commitments and ethical practice, using an interdisciplinary approach that reflects the authors' extensive experience in the fields of counseling, psychology, social work, and health and human services. The text skillfully combines evidence-based interviewing skills and cognitive-behavioral intervention change strategies, thus preparing readers to work with clients representing a wide range of ages, cultural backgrounds, and challenges in living.

If I could give this book negative stars, I would. It is 90% ideology & virtue signaling and 10% relevant to real interviewing. the major theme of this book is, "All the problems in America and the failures of counseling are because of male, white privileged, Christian heterosexuals."

I am truly amazed by the average rating this book has received. In my opinion, this book is excellent. I did not come across a more useful book for my second year of Counseling in Psychology. This book covers the helping process from the first session to the last in great detail. It is very well organized, with helpful headings and sub-headings. This book describes numerous basic skills and therapies in depth. Overall, the book has a very professional approach.
