Recenzje

'This book has several strengths including its clear and persuasive writing style, evidence-based approach, lecture slides, real-life examples, and discussion questions. Students are empowered to challenge and debate topics based on their culture. The chapters allow them to develop an interpersonal sensitivity when working with clients, and what to expect. This textbook covers how to build and maintain relationship and ensures that students understand that dissolution of relationships is normal and will occur. Being aware and able to process what can happen is the key.' Phyllis E. Gillians, Bowie State University
