Inhaltsangabe

`Raving about books and recommending them wholeheartedly to my colleagues is not a practice I frequently engage in. However, with this publication I am about to stick my neck out and say that I think this is a wonderful book and that anybody involved in counselling or counselling training should have a copy... Heron′s writing is clear and his depth of counselling experience is evident. He tackles the immense and difficult issues of responsibility and power within a helping relationship with great sensitivity and insight... his outline programme for training in six category intervention gives an easy to follow structure for running what I believe would be an extremely useful training course... an excellent purchase′ - Clinical Psychology Forum

A remarkable synthesis of the conceptual and the practical, this powerful and innovative book will be essential reading for all those interested in developing their repertoire of skills and methods for helping a client. John Heron presents his model of six main forms of helping behaviour which can be adopted by any practitioner offering a face-to-face service to any client within a formal contractual or more informal helping relationship. He explores the contexts and issues associated with these different forms of helping and, for each, describes a wide range of interventions which the practitioner may use. While the primary focus of Helping the Client is upon the counsellor or therapist working with the personal development of the client, the approach it presents has a much wider application and has been used as the basis for interpersonal skills training in a wide range of settings, including business organizations, medicine, nursing, social work, teaching and youth and community work.
