The skills of helping individuals, families, groups and communities

Lawrence Shulman

Open publisher page 398 citations

Abstract

Shulman's text introduces a model for the helping process based on an interactional approach, which uses several theories and skills to build on the client-helper relationship. By presenting the core processes and skills in the chapters on work with individuals, Shulman shows how common elements exist across stages of helping and across different populations. These processes and skills reappear in the discussions of group, family, and community work.
