About this eBook : 

Over 500 data-based studies and years of field testing attest to the effectiveness of the microskills model in INTENTIONAL INTERVIEWING AND COUNSELING: FACILITATING CLIENT DEVELOPMENT IN A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY, 9th Edition. This hallmark text enables students of many backgrounds to master basic skills in a step-by-step fashion, empowering them to use listening and influencing skills as they conduct full interviews. Students are challenged to re-evaluate their behaviors and perceptions, thereby gaining insight about themselves, their strengths, and areas where they can develop further. After finishing the text, students will have the ability to adapt their skills to address individual and multicultural uniqueness, conduct interviews using different theoretical approaches, and be well on their way to developing a personalized style and theory of interviewing and counseling. Neuroscience and neurobiology, and their applications to counseling, are clearly outlined throughout.

What’s New : 

• This edition incorporates neuroscience research that further validates the power and importance of attending behavior and empathy by showing that specific parts of the brain are activated during empathic listening.
• Increased integration of cutting-edge neuroscience with counseling skills reflects the fact that counseling and psychotherapy change the brain and build new neural networks in both client and counselor through neural plasticity and neurogenesis. Special attention is paid to portions of the brain that are affected in the helping process. The authors also discuss neuroscience research that stresses a positive wellness orientation to facilitate neural development, along with positive mental health. An updated neuroscience/neurobiology appendix includes additional practical implications.
• A newly integrated chapter on the action influencing skills (Chapter 12) presents the skills of self-disclosure, feedback, logical consequences, directives/instruction, and psychoeducation. The chapter uses data and transcripts of a four-interview case study with a single client who makes progress and becomes able to free herself with the counselor to discuss deeper, more critical relationship issues.
• The emphasis on multicultural and social justice has been increased. This edition introduces Eduardo Duran’s concept of the Soul Wound and the historical and intergenerational issue of cultural and individual trauma. Specific new session recommendations help clients who have encountered racism, sexism, bullying, and the many forms of harassment and oppression.
• The critical issue of recognizing stress and its dangerous impact on the brain and body is emphasized throughout; the authors also acknowledge that appropriate levels of stress can be positive and are necessary for learning, change, and building resilience to master more serious and challenging stress. New content illuminates research in wellness and neuroscience, which has revealed the importance of positive psychology and Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) as a supplement to stress management and all theoretical approaches.
• The fifth stage of the interview — action — receives increased attention with the Action Plan, a systematic comprehensive approach to homework and generalization from the interview to the real world. For some clients, Albert Ellis’ term, “homework,” feels like school. The Action Plan is more systematic with an emphasis on collaboration and the client’s decision as to how to take the interview to the world beyond the session.
• Self-actualization, intentionality, and resilience are clarified and have increased emphasis as goals for the interview. Resilience, especially, has become more central as an action goal to enable clients to adapt and grow as they experience stress. A new section focuses on helping counselors encourage the development of their clients’ resilience skills to better cope with future stresses and challenges.
• This edition reflects a refined and more precise definition of empathy. Drawing from neuroscience, paraphrasing is now associated with cognitive empathy, reflection of feeling with affective empathy, and mentalizing with the summary (understanding the clients words more holistically).
