Fundamentals of the Helping Process

 

Richard D. Parsons

 

Designed to meet the training and skill development needs of individuals involved in helping, including clergy, community workers, educators, paraprofessionals, and peer counselors, Fundamentals of the Helping Process increases awareness and appreciation of the various components of the helping process; helps develop facilitative attitudes for effective helping; assists in identifying personal attitudes, biases, and expectations along with an understanding of their impact on effective helping; highlights helping as a continually evolving experience of deep personal responsibility and satisfaction. Case illustrations, practical exercises, and suggestions for future direction provide readers with the opportunity to absorb the concepts discussed, practice the skills described, and identify those feelings that are both facilitative and inhibitory to the helping process.
