The Skilled Helper: A Problem-Management and Opportunity-Development Approach to Helping PDF

The Skilled Helper was mandatory, foundational reading in my early Clinical Psychology training. It is the book that I've recommended most often to young and/or developing clinicians.
1) It provides a straight forward explanation that counseling or helping is done "with", not "to" another person.
2) It clearly explains the need to meet your client/patient/consumer where they are instead of demanding that they fit a program or treatment model (individualized treatment at it's most basic).
3) It acknowledges and defines the term "interaction" - both clinician and client are influenced by the exchange.
4) It starts with the core concept of respect and regard for the person (vs. seeing them as a collection of symptoms or problems)
5) It addresses the goal of the client "outgrowing" the therapy relationship (without a lot of heady jargon, this really addresses the boundary, ethics and counter-transference issues that can derail therapy and professional careers)

Excellent resource for training new clinicians and for refocusing more experienced "helpers".

Overall a great introduction to counseling. It is not really a theory but a framework approach to helping through which each counselor can work in their own way to help clients.

From what I can see, there isn't a whole lot of change to the theory itself from edition to edition. What seems to change is the examples that are used (to make them more relevant to the age) and the use of technology.

Overall, very easy read with great general information.
