"I found each chapter to be excellent, much improved over prior
editions. Key strengths: multicultural infusion, addresses
spirituality, accessible, utilizes strength-based approach, allows
students to contemplate their own ideas about helping and integrate
them with theories, lots of case examples, useful exercises...I
would use this text because it provides concrete examples of how to
help effectively and takes into consideration cultural factors,
because it comes with a CDROM, because it encourages students to
develop their own styles."
"A well researched and well written introduction to counseling
skills and to multicultural counseling. I very much like the
Microskills approach and think it may be the most effective
framework to teach peer counselors. I teach on a diverse campus and
the book's emphasis on diversity is very powerful."
"I find this revised book exceptional...It is the first book on
counseling techniques that I have read that truly integrates
multiculturalism into the basic counseling skills learning
process...I believe this book has multiple uses as a basic
counseling skills book as well as an excellent multicultural text
book. I plan to adopt this book as soon as it is made available to
me. I commend the authors for their dedication to making teaching
counseling techniques exciting for me again."
