Read this book if you are going to help others!
An excellent treatment of counselling. Egan is a plain talking, not-too-jargonistic author who tells it like it is. Counselling is a skill and to help others you want the right tools. When you read this book you will have the foundation necessary to help others and yourself.

A must read for anyone studying Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, Counselling, Reiki, Healing, Teaching, Management, etcetera.

A larger sized version with thicker paper and slightly larger type is on my wish-list.

The counselling process "model" is appropriately analysed
the Egan "model" illustrated in this book helps immensely. Each aspect of the illustrated "model" is presented in a step-by-step process and easy to read manner. Quite appropriate for students learning to be therapists or counsellors. i hope that Egan continues to develop the graphics aspect of illustrating the "model" further refining the already excellant presentation of the "model" of the helping process purported. Any book with Egan's name on it as author is well worth looking into as a counsellor's or therapist's referrence source. Nicely done.
