Gerard Egan's The Skilled Helper is internationally recognized for its successful problem-management approach to effective helping. Egan's practical, three-stage model will help you learn to use a wide variety of counseling skills appropriately and effectively; develop a solid foundation as a basis for building your own personal counseling orientation; master practical strategies for facilitating client change; and be able to confront and deal with the "shadow side of helping.".
And, throughout the book, vivid examples show helping skills in action in a vast array of possible relationships and settings - from correctional institutes and hospitals to private practice.
