Interviewing and Change Strategies for Helpers, 8th Edition
Overview
Fully updated and streamlined to be used more easily within the parameters of several quarters or a semester, INTERVIEWING AND CHANGE STRATEGIES FOR HELPERS, Eighth Edition offers readers an introduction to the knowledge, skills, values, and tools needed by today's professional helpers. The book's conceptual foundation reflects four critical areas for helpers: core skills and attributes, effectiveness and evidence-based practice, diversity issues, and critical commitments and ethical practice, using an interdisciplinary approach that reflects the authors' extensive experience in the fields of counseling, psychology, social work, and health and human services. The text skillfully combines evidence-based interviewing skills and evidence-based intervention change strategies, thus preparing readers to work with clients representing a wide range of ages, cultural backgrounds, and challenges in living.
- MindTap®, a cloud-based, interactive learning experience built on the book's content, is available with this text. MindTap guides students through the course by combining readings, multimedia, applied activities, and assessments into a Learning Path that focuses on the key helping skills, intervention change strategies, and concepts presented in the text. It also includes counseling demonstration videos (featuring two of the book's authors) that are tied to every chapter. Instructors can rearrange and add content, and easily measure students' skills and outcomes.
- Updated throughout, the eighth edition integrates the most contemporary evidence and scholarly literature base for the helping skills and change interventions described, enabling instructors to present their students with current thinking and research.
- This edition describes and integrates a number of timely content areas, such as attention to ethical practice and culturally adapted interventions that support accreditation standards across a variety of helping disciplines.
- New, updated, or expanded discussions cover the DSM-5 (including case examples updated to reflect DSM-5 diagnoses), the newest addition of the ASAM Criteria, solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing, the multiple levels of processes involved in the development and operation of schemas for psychological disorders, mindfulness-based stress management practices, new uses of the Internet and technological devices to support longer term self-management, and many other topics.
- An Instructor's Resource Manual and test bank -- complete with practice tests, chapter outlines, and PowerPoint® slides -- help instructors save time and use the text to full advantage.
- The text presents interviewing and change strategies within a thorough and carefully researched but very readable format that effectively explores topics such as the importance of building a strong client-helper relationship, conceptualizing and assessment with goal setting and treatment planning, and a variety of evidence-based intervention change strategies.
- Throughout the text, the authors devote considerable attention to diversity issues, the client's ecology, and a multidisciplinary and integrative helping approach, enabling students to better understand and appreciate critical factors that can affect their client relationships and professional practices.
- The text provides both fundamental and complex helping skills for students and new professionals to use with a diverse clientele. These evidence-based skills are presented in a clear, comprehensive, and compelling fashion. Each chapter includes clearly outlined learning outcomes and activities, model examples, guided feedback, and end-of-chapter evaluations, all designed to help students learn quickly and effectively and to prepare for success in their courses and careers.
- An ample selection of learning exercises, client examples, and model dialogues helps to bring many of the strategies to life, providing students valuable illustrations of how to implement new skills as well as opportunities to reflect on and practice strategies with broad-based applicability to working with clients.
