  • The 4th EDITION has been reworked to provide both relevant and clear information for beginning helpers aspiring to provide effective services in a world affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and for our post-pandemic society, which includes a higher demand for mental health services and therapists who have been trained to work with trauma. The book has been renamed, rebranded and rewritten for a world in dire need of mental health and wellness.

  • The 4th EDITION offers updated applications addressing issues related to the pandemic (including the use of virtual platforms), social inequities, racism, violence, trauma and climate change. The 4th edition also included updated research on empathic understanding and its base in neuroscience.

  • Each chapter includes classic and new videos, session transcripts and exercises to assist the learner in applying the Ivey, Ivey, and Zalaquett helping model (empathic relationship, story and strengths, goals, restory, action) to facilitate clients’ change, growth and construction of new ways to find meaning in life, achieve their goals and transcend by helping others and their societies.

  • The Iveys' signature microskills model (teach, practice, apply) and teaching is updated with new research allowing students to quickly develop beginning competence in different therapeutic approaches, such as decisional counseling, person-centered counseling, cognitive behavioral assertiveness training, and brief solution-focused counseling, as well as in evidence-based adaptations and accommodations useful to improve the quality and strength of the therapeutic relationship.

  • The text's traditional emphasis on client strengths and wellness is more central, with special attention given to the importance of focusing on the positive and building on strengths to build resilience. The increased emphasis on resilience and positive psychology enhances the value of influencing skills such as directives, logical consequences and psychoeducation, while Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (TLC) counseling provides a new system for integrating wellness into the sessions.

  • The text offers an emphasis on cultural humility, social justice and advocacy to give students the awareness and knowledge they need to draw out client narratives and understand the importance of the thoughts, feelings and behaviors in those narratives. It also emphasizes that clients’ contexts influence them -- clients are seen as individuals in a changing world.

  • The central emphasis of this text is on students developing counseling and psychotherapy competence, knowing that their actions impact the whole human being in front of them. By the time students are halfway through the book, they are prepared to complete a full session using only listening skills.
