This brief, practical, nuts-and-bolts primer covers the basic elements of counseling in an abbreviated outline format. Rather than a primary text for a course, this book serves as a quick reference for both counselors in training and practitioners, designed to give them immediate access to information without having to read pages of commentary. This handy guide focuses on relationship building, the counseling process, and self-exploration, the foundations upon which further intervention is laid, and presents information that is essential for beginning counselors to know and for experienced counselors to remember, covering such topics and issues as what counseling is, as well as what it is not.

Review:
"This text provides a simple, condensed description of all the qualities of a skilled therapist. It captures the art of therapy like no other text and is a must as a companion text for beginning therapists and should be required reading for certification and licensure renewal."

"I would describe this manuscript to a colleague by stating that it contains guidelines that every experienced counselor wished they knew going into their first counseling sessions. It is written at a level that beginning counselors can grasp, yet it is also a good review for practicing counselors."
