A user-friendly guide to essential counseling techniques and skills
Concise, yet thorough, 45 Techniques Every Counselor Should Know is designed to prepare students to enter their field with sound ideas for applying theory-based techniques to their counseling. Coverage of each technique starts with the presentation of the theoretical origins, then provides a step-by-step guide to implementation, and culminates with opportunities for application. Transcriptions, case examples, multicultural implications, and outcomes-based research demonstrate real-life application of how the techniques can be used in counseling practice. This indispensable resource provides hands-on help for working with clients from all backgrounds to create positive changes in their lives and meet their counseling goals.
The 3rd Edition features new case studies and application questions and five new techniques detailed in new chapters on Mindfulness Meditation (Ch. 17); Assigning Homework (Ch. 29); Narrative Theory (Ch. 43); Strengths-Based Counseling (Ch. 44); and Client Advocacy (Ch. 45).

For all my fellow novice Clinical Mental Health therapist this is a must have book. It is comprehensive and really establishes many techniques that can be used right away in practice. It also gives you the necessary research to validate the technique in an academically sound way.

This text is a great guide! I’m a masters level counseling student preparing for field experience (I have experience from bachelors level but still green). The text is broken down by different approaches then gives common techniques within the approaches. I wish I would have found this ages ago! Definitely makes me feel more confident in my skills

I’ll be honest, this was purchased for school purposes but it was the best price out of the 4 sites I checked.

If you’re a counseling, social work or clinical psychology student this is a must buy! It helped me figure out the best techniques to use with different clients.
This book is an outstanding grouping of potential interventions with a good memory jogger for “how to” and the theoretical background. Extremely useful, straight forward, and well indexed.

You can’t go wrong with this one. I love the way it is broken down with techniques, approaches and examples of a session. I would love to buy one for every social work therapist I know.
