Editorial Reviews

Review
"…well-written, interesting, excellent summary book--helpful in both Intro and Techniques as a preview and as a review. Advanced students [doctoral & ed specialist] have given it positive feedback."

"I really appreciate the simplicity and breadth of this text… the book is small and non-threatening to new students in the field, and there are references for further research."

Product Description
This handy guide covers the basic elements of counseling in an abbreviated outline format. THE ELEMENTS OF COUNSELING serves as a quick reference for both counselors-in-training and practitioners, and is designed to give immediate access to information without having to read pages of commentary. Brief and practical, this primer focuses on relationship building, the counseling process, self-exploration, and the foundations upon which further intervention is laid. The authors presents information that is essential both for beginning counselors to know, and for experienced counselors to remember, covering such topics and issues as what counseling is, as well as what it is not.

4.0 out of 5 stars A quick, easy reference, January 27, 2001
By Jennifer Thompson (Montpelier, VT United States) - See all my reviews
This book is a great starting point for those interested in learning more about counseling. It is modeled after the English book "The Elements of Style," and it's numbered format makes it really easy to follow. It can be read from front to back, or skipping around chapters. It was a very easy read and I will enjoy having it around to re-read some of the "elements" as the need arises. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in a quick overview of the theories in counseling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read but VERY fundamental
Although the book was easy to read and easy to move around in, but it was embarassingly fundamental. I only suggest this book for those who truly are "beginers".
