Download or read book Essential Skills and Strategies in the Helping Process written by Robert E. Doyle and published by Brooks Cole. This book was released on 1992 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written with students in mind. The first six chapters may be read independently by students. The information provided in these chapters may be further developed by classroom discussions or supplementary lectures that can go into any of these topics in greater detail. The communication skills discussed in the last four chapters are designed to be used in a skill-building course. The exercises in these chapters need to be studied under the direction of a skilled counselor. I have tried to present the subject matter in a relatively informal writing style. The chapters were pretested with my own students, who were asked to provide feedback and pose questions about any concepts that were not completely understood.
