Choices: Interviewing and Counselling Skills for Canadians

Choices has found a home in a wide variety of professional training programs in  social work, criminology, nursing, child and youth care, addictions,  and psychology as well as training for professionals and volunteers in  other professions whose work involves interviewing and counselling. 

A continuing best seller in Canada, Choices is designed as a textbook and practice reference guide for students and  practitioners that combines theory, practice examples with sample  interviews, and challenging self-awareness exercises in a comprehensive  yet readable format. The book includes illustrative practice examples  and challenging exercises that promote skill development, conceptual  understanding, and self-awareness. Throughout the book, I have included  neuroscience concepts that have particular relevance for counsellors.  Although framed in the Canadian ethical and cultural context, the  content of the book is designed to appeal to a broad international  audience of professionals.
