In this Fourth Edition, Okun sustains her reputation for helping readers develop the communication skills they need to become compassionate helpers and counselors. Her overview of helping theory, skills, and issues for the beginning human services worker provides a solid foundation for individuals in helping roles. The integra-tion of major counseling theories with practical skill application affords readers the opportunity to learn basic human relations concepts experientially as well as didactically. The book helps readers develop communication skills in order to increase their own and others self-awareness, understanding of contemporary social forces, and capacities for problem solving. The integration of theory, case examples, and written and verbal individual and group exercises allows students and professionals to assess and reassess their assumptions about human behavior in todays sociocultural and political contexts and to reconsider helping relationships and roles.

Review:
"There is simply no better book for the purpose of giving students a clear understanding, in a concise format, of how to conceptualize and then work with a client. Further, this is the best book I've seen for giving students opportunities to practice specific skills."
"The exercises offered are "first rate" in aiding helpers in their skill development. The text is thorough in its discussion of the topics the author has chosen to address. The author often takes a more conversational tone [which] seems to lead to a more ready understanding of the material presented."
"[This text is] excellent in conceptualizing the process [and] sequencing activities. The questions suggested for each stage are very good. The updated information about issues in current practice and health coverage are also excellent."
