Defines the affective, cognitive, behavioral, and systemic approaches to life counseling, describes the skills dimension of the learning process, and offers some structure for the implicit and explicit interactional nature of those skills.
This text presents the counseling student and beginning counselor with the counseling skills, interventions and strategies for conceptualizing theoretically, planning therapy for change, and developing a means for self-assessment.

The authors have maintained the basic organization of the text, beginning with an overview of the stages of counseling, specific goals and interventions for each stage, chapters on affective, behavioral, cognitive and systemic interventions, and termination. The text provides a conceptual structure for viewing the counseling process and then examines each part of that structure in-depth, addressing necessary counseling skills.

All chapters conclude with “Summary,” “Exercises,” “Feedback for Exercises,” “Discussion Questions,” and “Additional Resources.”
