The book Counseling: Concepts and Practices provides a comprehensive discussion and review of counseling interventions and their application to clients. This book covers essential topics such as the definition of counseling, the history of counseling, and the key parties involved in the counseling process. Beyond theoretical discussions, this book also offers practical tips and techniques applicable in real-world counseling settings. The counseling techniques presented are tailored to meet the specific needs and characteristics of clients, taking into consideration factors such as age — from children and adolescents to adults and the elderly — as well as age-relevant issues. These include topics like internet addiction in teenagers, dating violence, and psychological approaches to marital problems.
In addition to counseling techniques, this book also provides intervention strategies that can be adapted to various psychological disorders or conditions encountered in practice. The methods discussed are not limited to individual counseling but are also applicable to group counseling settings, including common patterns of problems typically encountered in both individual and group counseling contexts.
