Synopsis

You can learn best when you read about skills; view seasoned clinicians using the skills with clients; and practice the skills through role-plays and skill application exercises, while receiving feedback from instructors and peers. That's the complete package that you get with INTERVIEWING IN ACTION IN A MULTICULTURAL WORLD, Third Edition. The authors give you the clinical wisdom and hands-on practice to fully develop your clinical interviewing skills. INTERVIEWING IN ACTION illustrates how you can promote change over time using the client-clinician relationship as momentum for growth. When you use all elements of this integrated learning package together--the text, the DVD with video clips, and the companion website with self-exploration activities and essay questions--you'll learn quickly, easily, and you'll be able to see and do just like working clinicians.

Review

"The authors have done an excellent job of writing a practical beginner's guide to the counseling process. The approach is pragmatic and eclectic, but provides enough depth and specificity to allow students to realistically envision and adopt the role of a practicing clinician."

"I really like the authors' hands-on approach and I particularly like the first-person accounts from clinicians and clients...I also like the frequent exercises as it gives students the opportunity to practice, and reflect on, what they've learned...All the essential topics are given full chapter treatment and the chapters are organized in a logical manner."

"This text provides the foundation for all levels of practice whether it is a beginning undergraduate student or a student beginning graduate study...The writing style is clear and easy to follow. I find the exercises well developed and useful in inducing insight and awareness to the student at all levels as well as refreshing to the seasoned clinician."
