Becoming a Helper

 

In my values clarification class (SW 3410 Exploring Values) I have been making reference to Corey and Corey's book--Becoming a helper

I will take this opportunity to provide more information about the book:

Corey, M.S. & Corey, G. (1998) Becoming a helper. 3rd ed. Pacific Grove, CA: Brooks/Cole Publishing Company
ISBN 0-534-34794-0

I believe the book is now in a 4th edition.  You can go to the publisher's web site and check that out:  http://www.brookscole.com
You can also find the book at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com
At Amazon a new copy is $47.97 and a used copy is $38.36, when I looked.

On the back cover the book is described as "a practical book for anyone embarking on or considering a career in human services, counseling psychology, social work, or any the other helping professions.  The Coreys focus on the struggles, anxieties, and uncertainties involved in becoming an effective helper and challenge the reader to take a candid look at the demands and strains they'll face in the helping professions. . ."
