The Art and Science of Helping: Developing Fundamental Skills in a Multicultural Age introduces the fundamentals of practicing helping-skills to undergraduates, graduates, and those preparing for entry-level helping professions. The text emphasizes best practices of the art of helping while rooting these practices in empirical, scientific findings. Readers will learn skills and techniques that prepare them for counseling and other helping professions while also developing multicultural competence and self-awareness. Chapters teach helpers who are training to navigate the different phases of helping, including connecting with clients, helping clients discover new understanding, and empowering clients to take action. The Art and Science of Helping aligns with a typical semester and includes ready-to-use classroom activities to develop helping skills and microskills. Each chapter includes multicultural considerations as well as reflections and exercises designed to enhance self-awareness—both critical competencies for burgeoning helping professionals.
