A short, concised and helpful guide to learning the basics of psychological counseling. However, I don't agree with the concept of people from outside work domains that are not related to psychology who practice counselling abilities, or "helpers" as they are called in the book, because I think it should only be practiced by professionals.

This was a great book which mainly focuses on the actual basic skills of counselling rather than the history/background of it so I'd recommend to read it alongside Pete Sanders book "First steps in Counselling" as they complement each other perfectly well. There are quite a few suggested activities but most of them have to be done with a partner. Great book overall with some practical tips and a very easy and simple approach to understanding each of the skills.

O carte excelentă pentru un începător în consiliere, sau cineva care se întâlnește cu aspecte de susținere și ghidare a altora în slujba sa.

Pune bazele unei interacțiuni terapeutice sănătoase; baze care pot fi aplicate și în viața de zi cu zi, pentru a deveni un ascultător mai bun si mai empatic.

Am apreciat că toate capitolele au scurte exerciții sau teme de gândire în final. Fapt care accelerează procesul de învățare o dată cu lecturarea cărții.

Nu am apreciat limbajul oarecum steril și “de lemn” pe alocuri, chiar dacă nu s-au folosit termeni complicați de specialitate.

O bună lectură inițiatică din care am învățat multe.

Prezinta atat bazele consilierii pentru o persoana la inceput de drum, cat si sfaturi practice pentru cei ce profeseaza deja. Usor de inteles, interactiva si cu exemple bine definite. Un "minus" al acestei carti ar fi traducerea, unele pasaje/concepte au fost traduse cuvant cu cuvant, neavând inteles in comtextul dat. (Gândire fierbinte??)

Written as a textbook, I found this difficult to read, and outdated especially with regards to diversity

Great book to be read! Buku ini memaparkan teknik konseling yang sangat mudah dan mudah dicerna. Rasanya buat orang-orang awam pun, ga akan kesulitan deh baca buku ini dan apa yang disampaikan dalam buku ini dapat dipakai untuk kegiatan komunikasi sehati-hari. Very recommended for you guys who wants to learn more about counselling =)

The book is good as far as it goes and very clear, but in a subject like this, it can only ever really lay the groundwork.

I am now more clear about certain aspects of counselling but it is also apparent that to gain any confidence and skills in it, you have to do some kind of training.
