Theory, Practice, and Trends in Human Services: An Introduction

by Edward S. Neukrug

Neukrug's easy-to-understand, comprehensive overview of the human services distinguishes itself from other texts through its experiential emphasis, unique use of personal vignettes, and focus on the development of the helper. Critical topics covered that deepen students' understanding of the field include: history, theory, helping skills, standards in the profession, group counseling, family counseling, community systems, research and assessment, normal and abnormal development, career issues, and multicultural awareness.

[Lilly · Rating 3 out of 5]

A solid, basic, framework of human services. Theories, legislature, jargon, and job paths related to the human services are all explored/detailed. Outdated in terms of certain language (particularly around LGBTQ+ clients) and in need of a bit more editorial work.
