Product Description
Internationally recognized for its successful problem-management and opportunity development approach to effective helping, this is the "millennium edition" of Egan's classic book for helpers. Egan 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. Egan masterfully leads readers step-by-step through the counseling process, while giving them a feeling for the complexity inherent in any helping relationship. As readers begin to understand the various steps of the helping model, they are able to improve their competence and confidence measurably. In this new seventh edition, Egan has built upon the strengths of the last edition while focusing on a new "positive psychology", solution-focused theme.

life changing
This book is wonderful. It was assigned reading for a course I voluntarily took to improve my professional consulting skills. The book is full of valuable information that is easy to read yet full of depth. With some practice I have made this a regular part of my life, and my relationships both personally and professionaly have improved for it. I think everyone should read this book!

The Skilled Helper skillfully helps us potential helpers
While I'm learning and practicing the helping profession, and reading the book, the content just coincides with my progress concurrently, from active listening, to probing, then challenging. With vivid examples, dialogues, readers can grasp the theory and idea in a very solid way and in my actual sessions working with my clients. The content is comprehensive and I believe it has already become a bible in the Helping Field.
Last of all, the condition of the book delivered by Amazon is excellent and I appreciate the service.
