Helping Skills :

Facilitating Exploration,
Insight, and Action
 By
Clara E. Hill
American Psychological
Association
In this fifth edition of her best-selling textbook, Clara Hill presents
an updated model of essential helping skills for undergraduate and
first-year graduate students. Hill's model consists of three stages-
exploration, insight, and action-in which helpers guide clients in
exploring their thoughts and feelings, discovering the origins and
consequences of maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, and acting on
those discoveries to create positive long-term change.

This book synthesizes the author's extensive clinical and classroom

experience into an easy-to-read guide to the helping process.
Aspiring helping professionals will learn the theoretical principles
behind the three-stage model and fundamental clinical skills for
working with diverse clients. Hill also challenges students to think
critically about the helping process, their own biases, and what
approach best aligns with their therapeutic skills and goals.

New to this edition are

detailed guidelines for developing and revising case

conceptualizations,
expanded coverage of cultural awareness,
updated case examples that reflect greater diversity among clients
and helpers, and
additional strategies for addressing therapeutic challenges.
