Over the past 30 years, Egan's THE SKILLED HELPER has taught thousands of students like you a proven, step-by-step counseling process that leads to increased confidence and competence. Internationally recognized for its successful problem-management and opportunity development approach to effective helping, the text emphasizes the collaborative nature of the therapist-client relationship and uses a practical, three-stage model that drives client problem-managing and opportunity-developing action. As you read, you'll also gain a feeling for the complexity inherent in any helping relationship. In this tenth edition, Egan now makes use of his version of the "common factors" approach, which gives new meaning and vitality to the book's themes, as well as to the use of the problem-management model to organize and give coherence to those themes.

I am finding this a very informative and easily digestible book to read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2017Verified Purchase
As a novice to the world of helping, I am finding this a very informative and easily digestible book to read. It is not only helping me in my course but is evoking a lot of self-reflection and thought. I am still yet to cover many more chapters but the areas I have covered so far leave me with no doubt as to what to expect through the rest of the book. Although this is a book written for the professional helper, I think it is a wonderful book for anyone who is interested in continuous self-improvement and development and on improving their relationships with others.
