5.0 out of 5 stars My 100-word book review, 14 Mar 2006
By 
A. J. Cull (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
Egan’s The Skilled Helper is a classic resource, practical and outcome-oriented, for those of us involved in the helping professions (not only counselling but also related fields such as life coaching.) As a student who has mostly been exposed to the Rogerian, client-centred model of counselling, I am interested by Egan’s pragmatic approach, where empathy is not seen to be an end in itself but, in the later stages of the helping process, becomes secondary to the search for desirable outcomes. Egan’s discussion of the "shadow side" of helping, where good intentions can have poor results, is also highly useful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Starting out in counselling? Then this is your first book!, 22 May 2002
By 
Mark R. Woodland (NW England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Skilled Helper: A Problem-Management and Opportunity-Development Approach to Helping (Hardcover)
Gerard Egan's 3 Stage Model is the cornerstone to all counselling, from Brief Therapy through to Psyhcodynamic work. This is so because all effective counselling first demands that you "get alongside the client", listening, empathising and building up a professional trust and respect. This book is accepted by so many as THE book that builds and teaches the necessary skill foundations for us all, whether professional counsellors, health/care professionals, or simply people who care enough to want to show they care and want to support their friends and family in the best ways possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars FIVE STARS, 22 May 2003
By 
Mr. Alasdair B. Gordon (Scotland (UK)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Skilled Helper: A Problem-Management and Opportunity-Development Approach to Helping (Hardcover)
This book does not need a recommendation from me as it is so well established. For anyone who is involved in "helping people" it is a must. It is full of common sense and wisdom and well as an unrivalled knowledge of the subject
