Reviews for Doing Good: Passion and Commitment for Helping Others (Accelerated Development)
I found this book to be quite helpful because if focuses on the quality of relationship between client and counselor. Kottler, who has written over 20 books in the field, gives specific help to us to be conscious of what is going on within ourselves as we counsel, so that we can get our needs met in loving ways rather than believe that in altruistic giving we are not concerned with getting. Let us give care with passion and excitement!. -Journal of Psychology and Christianity Dr. Kottler has influenced a whole generation of mental health professionals with his fresh, honest, and challenging stories of the joys and pain we all experience. This book provides the newcomer to the field with a heartfelt welcome, using the voices of seasoned professionals to build self-knowledge and to share essential survival skills. -Tom Blume, Ph.D., Oakland University ... a compelling and engaging book....It fills a distinct void typically found in introductory classes dealing with the initial training of counselors, therapists, applied scientists, human service workers, and social workers. As a supplement to these introductory texts, it has no parallel. -Steven C. Dinsmore, EdD, Wayne State University
