Skills for Helping Professionals Summary

Skills for Helping Professionals by Anne M. Geroski

Written specifically for non-clinical undergraduate students, but also relevant to graduate studies in helping professions, Skills for Helping Professionals, by Anne M. Geroski focuses on helping students develop the skills they need to effectively initiate and maintain helping relationships. After exploring the literature identifying critical components of helping relationships and briefly reviewing developmental and helping theories, the text covers such topics as the helping process, self-awareness, and ethics in helping, and then focuses on specific helping skills such as listening and hearing, empathy, reflecting, paraphrasing, questioning, clarifying, exploring, and offering feedback, encouragement, and psycho-education. The final chapters focus on individuals in crisis and helping in groups.

Skills for Helping Professionals Reviews

Skills for Helping Professionals is an important addition to the material for teaching helper skills. The inclusion of current theories and issues in helper education is a major contribution to this important area of study. -- Barbara J. Crowe
This is one of the most comprehensive books written to date to address helping skills. The table, case illustrations, and other materials enhances the students' conceptualization of the materials discussed in each chapter. -- Deanna Henderson
This text refreshingly presents both linear and non-linear developmental theories and it smoothly navigates the wide range of helping skills for front-line, non-clinical helpers, counselors and importantly--advocacy skills. The text definitely moves helping skills further into the 21st century. -- Judith Kuppersmith
This text provides an outstanding connection between theory and practice, which bridges the gap between skill and application for both graduate and undergraduate students. -- Mary-Anne Joseph
