Skills for Effective Counseling: A Faith-Based Integration
Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books

By Elisabeth A. Nesbit Sbanotto, Heather Davediuk Gingrich and Fred C. Gingrich

Anyone in a helping profession—including professional counselors, spiritual directors, pastoral counselors, chaplains and others—needs to develop effective communication skills. But learning these skills is like learning a new language: it takes time and practice to communicate effectively, and lack of practice can lead to the loss of one's ability to use this new language.

Suitable for both beginning students and seasoned practitioners, Skills for Effective Counseling provides a biblically integrated approach to foundational counseling skills that trains the reader to use specific microskills. These skills include perceiving, attending, validating emotion and empathic connection.

Elisabeth A. Nesbit Sbanotto (PhD, University of Arkansas) is a consultant, speaker, writer, counselor and educator. She is assistant professor of counseling at Denver Seminary.
