About this title

From the Back Cover:

I have worked with a few other counselling texts over the years and find Choices: Interviewing and Counselling Skills for Canadians, to be one of the most comprehensive beginner counselling texts.  ... I personally find the exercises extremely useful at reinforcing newly acquired content.
