Interviewing for the Helping Professions: A Relational Approach

by Fred R. McKenzie

This title uses extended interview dialogues interspersed with theoretical and practice-based explanations to illustrate the interviewing process with clients of different backgrounds, cultures, and ages. McKenzie advocates that interviewers, armed with a thorough understanding of relevant theory, should be guided by their own natural curiosity and desire to help clients to achieve their goals, and should select interviewing approaches based on their developing relationship with the client.
