61/100
👎 Skip It
If you are a counseling student already working through Egan's core Skilled Helper text, the 33 multicultural exercises here are a genuine pedagogical gift. Outside that narrow context it barely functions as a standalone read — this is a workbook supplement, not a book anyone stumbles into and gets value from on its own.
