Summary

Exploration, insight, and action: These concepts drive the basic three-step process that this textbook introduces as a way of teaching helping skills to undergraduate and first-year graduate students. Incorporating client-centered, psychoanalytic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, this practical guide recognizes the critical roles of affect, cognition, and behavior in the change process.
