by Sherry Cormier, William H. Cormier

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.
