Wonderful

This is the only book I have read by Mr. Benjamin.. but it is a leader in its class. I suggest the third edition over the second, but any edition is fine. Not too lengthy, not too wordy, but gets the point across. Anyone thinking of counseling should definately splurge the few dollars and give it a read!

The Helping Interview

This is a must read for anybody who wants to learn how to interview people who are in crisis. Benjamin gives step by step suggestions to help a care giver aid the person in crisis find their own strenghts and solutions. The book is written in a way that made me feel as if Benjamin and I were working together as I improved my interviewing skills.
