Counseling—A Guide To Helping Others Volume 1 Edited By R. Lanier Britsch & Terrance D. Olson
Counseling—A Guide To Helping Others Volume 1 Edited By R. Lanier Britsch & Terrance D. Olson 238 pages
Many people find themselves in the role of counselor, even when they do not ask for the responsibility. In such cases, what should they do? How should they act? What should they say to those who need their help?
Counseling: A Guide to Helping Others provides reliable answers to these questions. Written not for the professional but for the lay person who wants to serve others, it gives perspectives and ideas that can be used to help people understand themselves and overcome their problems. Included are chapters on many topics, such as depression, child abuse, suffering and pain, stress, loneliness, loss, self-esteem, conflict, marriage, morality, disciplining children, adolescence, divorce, parenting alone, aging, death, and sexual assault. The chapters have been written by professional and lay counselors who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and who are experts on their topics.
The editors write, “Counseling sometimes means nothing more than being a good friend who is willing to listen. A willingness to advise people within the bounds the Lord has set while supporting them by an outpouring of love is the key to counseling success.”
Counseling will be welcomed by all who want to improve their ability to love and to serve others.
