Critics Review

Grounded in an illuminating conceptual model and built to develop trainees amp rsquo awareness, skills, agency, and self-efficacy, there is simply no better book. Having reached its fifth edition, this evidence-based classic has not only passed the test of time, it will keep guiding future generations of therapists.

Hands down the best package for teaching (and learning) interviewing, helping, and case management skills! The exercises, videos, and the resource guide brilliantly integrate what students must know. A master teaches neophyte helpers self-awareness, cultural sensitivity, and indispensable skills in a practical and sequential manner.

- John C. Norcross, PhD, ABPP, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of Scranton, Scranton, PA

Students will not find a more sensitive, thoughtful, and useful guide to learning the intricacies of this extraordinary profession.

- Barry A. Farber, PhD, Professor, Clinical Psychology Program, Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, NY

Hill amp rsquo s helping skills training is the singular choice for students and early practitioners who wish to identify therapeutic interventions and learn how to apply these tools in different situations. While amp ldquo technical, amp rdquo Hill amp rsquo s helping skills theory is compatible with any popular treatment approach and is flexible enough to allow readers the freedom to experiment and find their own way to become expert psychotherapists.
