Psychologische Beratung und Coaching

The counseling situation is clearly distinct from therapeutic settings. Overall, clients seeking counseling have more concrete and defined problems that do not carry a medical diagnosis. They expect the counselor to utilize their expertise, provide missing information, outline pathways, and assist them in making difficult decisions or coping better with specific situations. This manual provides you with all the fundamental and advanced skills necessary to conduct a professional counseling session. The concept of this book was developed at the University of Fribourg, where the author taught psychological counseling. The author clearly guides you through the six phases of each counseling session with numerous examples and practical exercises: initial contact, relationship building, goal analysis, problem analysis, solution development, and conclusion. The content has been updated for the third edition.
