Editorial Reviews
Review
"I think the standout strength is the abundance of clear, accurate examples of skill use. The examples of typical mistakes counselors make are also very helpful. These two features save my students and me a tremendous amount of time in the explanation and justification of various skills. The way the book walks students through skills, engaging them in the process, is also very helpful. The expanded coverage of multicultural implications at the close of each chapter and the inclusion of skill use with children are great improvements."
"The writing style is very engaging, and keeps my students' attention nicely. The 4-stage Program is an excellent revision and will facilitate student understanding and learning. The additional Chapter 6 is also an excellent addition to facilitate student understanding and learning. The revised chapter organization is a great improvement…"
"Overall, I thought each chapter was excellent. I have experienced good success with my students using the previous edition of Essential Interviewing. After reviewing the 7th edition I will anxiously await being able to utilize the new edition in my class. More than anything I think this is a text that my students can identify with--it teaches them that there are right and wrong solutions, but that not everything is always clear-cut."

Cogent, clear, concise,
By Dr. Kathleen Barlow (Indianapolis, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Interviewing: A Programmed Approach to Effective Communication (with InfoTrac®) (Counseling S.) (Paperback)
Cogent, lucid, concise, this book promises to be a fine choice for both psychology and business majors. The comprehensive evaluation of answers to interview questions in each chapter invites students to develop effective listening skills as well as help them perfect successful questioning techniques.The chapters on attending behavior and questioning are especially well done, providing a wealth of applicable techniques. Also, the emphasis on ethics is an especially cogent addition, given our current cultural climate. I highly recommend this book for any course in counseling techniques. Kathleen Barlow, Ph. D.

This review is from: Essential Interviewing: A Programmed Approach to Effective Communication (Paperback)
I've been using this book for years in the MA program in counseling at NYU in our intro counseling skills course. I use this book to supplement the IPR video tapes by Kagan. My students have really enjoyed using the book. It allows real practice of counseling skills. Each counseling skill is broken into chapters: A client makes a statement and then there are three possible ways that the counselor can respond. It clearly explains why the one answer is correct and the other two are not. (I have my students cover the answers so they have to guess which one is correct.)
If you are looking for a book to practice counseling skills, I highly recommend this book.
