Bridging the gap between theory and practice, Hackney and Bernard sThe Professional Counseloroffers a solid grounding in counseling skills and an understanding of how these skills are used within different therapy orientations, including affective, cognitive, behavioral, and systemic domains. It presents students with a four-stage model of counseling which shows them how to assess client problems, develop counseling goals, define strategies and select interventions, and terminate and evaluate the counseling relationship. The new co-author of this edition, Janine M. Bernard, brings her expertise in clinical supervision to help deconstruct the counseling process for learners, resulting in effective editing of all chapters in this edition. Alsoincluded is a discussion of the application of counseling interventions to Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivation Interviewing, so that students can appreciate that skills are not distinct from therapy approaches they will use in their clinical courses. Included are new case examples drawing from different specialties within counseling, and more than 40 new web-based video samples illustrating the content of the book. Also available with MyCounselingLab(r) This title is also available with MyCounselingLab an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with the text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students see key concepts demonstrated through video clips, practice what they learn, test their understanding, and receive feedback to guide their learning and ensure they master key learning outcomes.

The Professional Counsellor is a good starter book for those looking to begin a career in helping others through the hills and valleys of life. It is extremely comprehensive for an introductory counselling psychology course covering everything from the skills needed for counselling to specific interventions. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in counselling or actively involved in counselling already.

I've read about a third of this, and probably will pick it up sporadically to get through it. But don't need it to sit on my good reads until I do actually finish it.
