Now in its fourth edition, The Heart of Counseling is a key resource helping students to understand the importance of therapeutic relationships and to develop the qualities that make the therapeutic relationships they build with clients the foundation of healing.

In these pages, students will learn how all skills arise from, and are directly related to, the counselor's development. Student learning ranges from therapeutic listening and empathy to structuring sessions, from explaining counseling to clients and caregivers to providing wrap-around services, and ultimately to experiencing therapeutic relationships as the foundation of professional and personal growth.

Enhancing development with extensive online student and instructor materials, this new edition includes:



New to this edition: recorded lectures by the first author that enable more fully experiential use of class time
New to this edition: experiential classroom activity guides for each chapter, test banks, sample slides and syllabi, commonly used handouts, and other instructor guidance
New session videos that bring chapters to life
Extensive case studies and discussions on applying skills in school and agency settings
Specific guidance on how to translate the abstract concepts of therapeutic relationships into concrete skill sets
Exploration of counseling theories and tasks within and extending from core counseling skills.

This book is designed to help new counseling students understand, value, and implement therapeutic relationships that drive client change. Additionally, this book serves as a tool for experienced counselors feeling the need to renew and refocus their core skills of client connection, buy-in, and progress.
