Easy-to-read textbook detailnig the counseling process,
By A Customer
This review is from: Professional Counselor, The: A Process Guide to Helping (Hardcover)
Hackney & Cormier offer a simple stage presentation of counseling that explains the process to readers in a revealing way. Each stage is detailed, and various intervention genres are explored. At times, however the book does not flow well. The authors do not take enough time to show how each aspect of counseling ties together. Hackney & Cormier, however, are sensitive -- almost to a fault -- to multicultural issues.

This review is from: The Professional Counselor: A Process Guide to Helping (6th Edition) (Hardcover)
I just begun my journey to become a therapist. The journey seems a bit overwhelming but this book has been helpful. The authors provide step by step guidance in how the counseling processes works and how it develops. I am sure that counseling does not enfold in such a systematic way but it is helpful to understand the steps. They cover things from the language of counseling and they also cover affective, cognitive, behavioral and systemic interventions. The book covers assessments and gives ideas on how to write them. This book has helped to ease the burdens of feeling totally inept to feeling only somewhat inept.
The book is a little dry and a little hard to hard. The chapters read quickly.

This review is from: The Professional Counselor: A Process Guide to Helping (6th Edition) (Hardcover)
I've been reading several books for my counseling program, and this one is actually very good at teaching and examining the "basics" of counseling. I recommend you read this book before others - it's very good!
