Inhaltsangabe

Introduction to Counseling provides an overview of counseling and the helping professions from the perspective of art and science: the science of counseling that generates a knowledge base proven to promote competency and efficacy in the practitioner, and the art of using this knowledge base to build skills that can be applied sensitively to clients in a multicultural society.  The Third Edition has been organized into three sections: An overview of counseling and the counseling process; developing a personal approach to counseling from a multicultural perspective; and special approaches and settings. The text stays true to its original focus by using the concept of art and science as a unifying theme. This new edition addresses topics of multicultural counseling and diversity issues such as gender, culture, and sexual orientation in each chapter, communicating how multiculturalism can be integrated into all aspects of counseling rather than viewed as a separate entity.

What reviewers are saying about Introduction to Counseling, Third Edition by Michael S. Nystul. . .

“This is a great book. It covers all the relevant areas, is easy to read, has a good layout, and content includes good bibliography/reference listings. Special features, such as chapter overviews, and a section on special issues and diversity are excellent. The material is presented in a manner that students are able to conceptualize and integrate for practical application. I plan to switch to this text.”
―Jeannette Seaberry, University of Nebraska ― Omaha

“I thoroughly enjoyed Nystul’s writing style: direct and clear.”
―David M. Kleist, Idaho State University

“I think nothing is better than Nystul’s inclusion of A Personal Note boxes throughout the text. So often, textbooks do not come to life and seem to be written by a machine rather than a human being. The eight stage model for developing a personal approach to counseling is tremendously useful.”
―Amy Ginsberg, Long Island University

“Nystul does a great job integrating multicultural issues into the content.” ―Gregory Allinson, Beaufort County Community College
