One Life at a Time by Leah Brew

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.

"It is refreshing to see a text that goes beyond the usual range of perspectives that are offered in the "helping skills" canonThe book covers professional skills and issues in a humorously engaging and pragmatically helpful way." -- Marilyn Montgomery, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Florida International University

"This book is a gem for training brand new counseling students. Kottler and Brew walk students through every aspect of seeing clients for the very first time, (both the client's first time, and the therapist's)! The authors give the student a first row seat in viewing the intricate workings of the therapy room, from joining with a client, to setting goals, to promoting client change, and terminating therapy. In addition, in a unique format, the students are offered views of the authors' internal workings as they have learned to master counseling skills themselves over the years. Their wisdom and wit prevail in this primer for counseling." -- Lorna Hecker, Ph.D., Professor, Marriage and Family Therapy, Purdue University Calumet

"One Life at a Time is a significant contribution to the training literature on counseling interventions. Rather than focusing solely on interventions, Kottler and Brew give ample credence to the intangible, human qualities that counselors and psychologists bring to their clinical work." -- Stephen E. Craig, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Western Michigan University

"The authors of One Life at a Time demystify the complexities of forming therapeutic relationships with honesty, humor, and practical instruction." -- Dana L. Comstock, Ph.D., St. Mary's University, Department of Counseling and Human Services, San Antonio, TX

Seymour, Ph.D., Minnesota State University, Mankato, Department of Counseling and Student Personnel

"Jeffrey Kottler and Leah Brew have written a book which should appeal to beginning practitioners who are seeking to develop their counseling skills. The material is logically organized, makes extensive use of examples and provides excellent exercises for intructors to use in a techniques course. I like the book and feel that it will be a useful resource for both students and practitioners." -- Fred O. Bradley, Ph.D., Professor of Counseling, Kansas State University

"This book approaches helping skill development as a reflective process, weaving traditional theories and mechanistic techniques into a deeper and more powerful process involving the client, the helper, and their interaction on multiple levels. It mobilizes established theories while breaking new ground in their applications. The authors are highly effective in expanding their approach beyond the narrow confines of traditional skills training." -- John A. Casey, Ed.D., N.C.C.
