Assigning homework
Exploring the counselee’s concerns
Spiritual strategies
Facilitating the sessions
Using metaphors

The book’s unique combination of qualities-a practical approach highlighting professional and personal growth based on authoritative, interdisciplinary, and biblical worldview outlooks-makes this an outstanding text within its field. Workbook excercises to foster skills application are included with each chapter.
