Helping Skills: The Empirical Foundation

By Clara E. Hill

An introduction to relevant research for future practitioners studying the three-stage model of helping. The effectiveness of therapist behaviours and interventions during the Exploration, Insight and Action stages are carefully analyzed in this collection. Studies included present a general overview of applicable helping skills research while also demonstrating the importance of key methodological variables. Intended as a companion reader to the 1999 Helping Skills text (Hill and O'Brien), this volume should offer students intimidated by research with direct links and explanations of how research informs practice, while also suggesting directions for future exploration.
