Product Description
This dynamic book defines the core communication skills essential to any interview and vivdly demonstrates how to use them effectively in a variety of situations. This updated and revised Fifth Edition reflects continued feedback from users of the book's previous editions, including the incorporation of multicultural considerations. Based on Ivey's systematic method of interviewer, counselor, and therapist training, the book's approach makes the interview clear and specific for beginners, helping them master the complexities of the process more quickly and fully. The authors help take the mystery out of the interviewing process through their empahsis on client Story (listening and helping clients tell their tales), Restory (helping clients think about their lives and the world in new ways), and Action (what needs to be done to make the story come to life).

A book that works June 19, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been using this book for years in the MA program in counseling at NYU in our intro counseling skills course. I use this book to supplement the IPR video tapes by Kagan. My students have really enjoyed using the book. It allows real practice of counseling skills. Each counseling skill is broken into chapters: A client makes a statement and then there are three possible ways that the counselor can respond. It clearly explains why the one answer is correct and the other two are not. (I have my students cover the answers so they have to guess which one is correct.)
If you are looking for a book to practice counseling skills, I highly recommend this book.

Cogent, clear, concise July 4, 2004

Cogent, lucid, concise, this book promises to be a fine choice for both psychology and business majors. The comprehensive evaluation of answers to interview questions in each chapter invites students to develop effective listening skills as well as help them perfect successful questioning techniques.The chapters on attending behavior and questioning are especially well done, providing a wealth of applicable techniques. Also, the emphasis on ethics is an especially cogent addition, given our current cultural climate. I highly recommend this book for any course in counseling techniques. Kathleen Barlow, Ph. D.
