One Life at a Time cover

One Life at a Time: Helping Skills and Interventions is a student-centered, inexpensive experientially based textbook for beginning courses in counseling and therapy. Written in Kottler's personal, easy-to-read and engaging style, this text covers all the basic skills and core interventions that beginners need to be taught in order to begin seeing clients. Students are encouraged to explore self-reflection and make connections between the material and their prior knowledge and experience; once internalized, these ideas and skills can be applied to one's life as well as one's work. Including an online instructor's manual, case examples and first person accounts - this book will help students to understand how best to meet a client's needs.

"[T]his text goes beyond the usual range of perspectives that are offered in the 'helping skills' canon, covering professional skills and issues in a humourously engaging and pragmatically helpful way." - Marilyn Montgomery, Phd, LMHC, NBCC, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Florida International University, USA

"Kottler and Brew have written a book which will appeal to beginning practitioners who are seeking to develop their counselling skills. The material is logically organized, makes extensive use of examples, and provides excellent exercises for instructors to use in techniques courses." - Fred O. Bradley, Phd, Professor of Counseling and Educational Psychology, Kansas State University, USA, and immmediate past-president of ACES
