Reviews

"Essential Interviewing Skills for the Helping Professions by Nicole Nicotera is the book that I have been waiting for: an interviewing skills textbook that centers social work perspective. Nicotera illustrates implications of social justice in micro interactions with clear case examples and emphasizes mindful use of self in practice. The book also provides ample teaching resources for instructors. This book will greatly benefit students of social work and other helping professions."
--Hye-Kyung Kang, Director, Master of Social Work Program; Associate Professor, Seattle University
"This well-organized book addresses very important aspects of interviewing in a clinical setting. Nicotera creates a thoughtful discussion of social justice, power, and privilege and ethics with skill building exercises making for an excellent teaching text for students and practitioners."
--Sharon Kopyc, Director, Womanspace-Ardmore Drug and Alcohol Residential Facility
