From the Back Cover:

Can a lay person render emotional first aid as effectively as a professional counselor? Without a doubt! Just as it doesn't take a physician to dress a wound or an attorney to draw up a contract (paramedics and paralegals have been doing these things successfully for years), it doesn't take a social worker or psychologist to respond effectively to someone caught in an emotional crisis. All it takes is a little grounding in how not to complicate the situation. In fact, you may be surprised at how uncomplicated it often is to be of genuine service to someone in emotional distress.
