PREFACE Welcome to the ninth edition of Intentional Interviewing and Counseling: Facilitating Client Development in a Multicultural Society, the original, most researched system in the basics of skilled counseling and psychotherapy. You will find a completely updated and rewritten revision, based on the latest research, and made even more user friendly through restructur- ing and a new organization.
�e microskills approach has become the standard for interviewing, counseling, and psychotherapy skills training throughout the world. Based on more than 500 data-based studies, used in well over 1,000 universities and training programs throughout the world, the culturally sensitive microskills approach is now available in 20 translations. �e empha- sis is on clarity and providing the critical background for competence in virtually all coun- seling and psychotherapy theories.
Easy to teach and learn from, students will find that the content, transcripts, case illustrations, and exercises help ensure that they can immediately take to the “real world” the concepts presented in the textbook.
An alternative version of this text is available. Essentials of Intentional InterviewingEssentials of Intentional Interviewing (3rd ed.) covers the skills and strategies of interviewing, counseling, and psychotherapy in a briefer form, with less attention to theory, research, and supplementary concepts.
The Microskills Tradition and Basic Competencies �e backbone of this book continues the original emphasis on competencies. What counts is that students first develop a foundation by becoming competent in listening and empathic skills. �is is followed by step-by-step movement through the microskills hierarchy, through which the major aspects of a successful interview are introduced. Students who work with this book will be able to
● Engage in the basic skills of the counseling or psychotherapy session: listening, influenc- ing, and structuring an effective session with individual and multicultural sensitivity.
● Conduct a full session using only listening skills by the time they are halfway through this book.
● Master a basic structure of the session that can be applied to many different theories: 1. Develop an empathic relationship with the client. 2. Draw out the client’s story, giving special attention to strengths and resources. 3. Set clear goals with the client. goals with the client. goals 4. Enable the client to restory and think differently about concerns, issues, and challenges. restory and think differently about concerns, issues, and challenges. restory 5. Help the client move to action outside the session.
● Observe counseling and therapy in action through the many interview example transcripts throughout the book. We consider this a central part of learning the application of skills and theories with many diverse clients.
● Integrate ethics, multicultural issues, and positive psychology/wellness into counseling practice.

xiv Preface
● Analyze with considerable precision their own natural style of helping and, equally or perhaps more important, how their counseling style is received by clients.
● Become able to integrate basic aspects of neuroscience into the session. Develop a client- centric approach, full of genuine desire to help others and advance our communities and societies.
Empathy and empathic communication have become even more central to the microskills framework. While they have always been there, they are now a centerpiece, associated with each and every skill. Students will be able to evaluate each intervention for its quality of empathic understanding and whether or not it facilitates the interview process. Every transcript in this text includes process discussions that illustrate the various levels of empathy. Students will be able to evaluate on the spot how their interviewing leads affect the client.
�e Portfolio of Competencies is emphasized in each chapter. Students have found that a well-organized portfolio is helpful in obtaining good practicum and internship sites and, at times, professional positions as well. Students may complain about the workload, but if they develop a solid portfolio of competencies, use the interactive website to reinforce learn- ing, and engage in serious practice of skills and concepts, it will become clear how much they have learned. �e portfolio concept and the authors’ videos increase course satisfaction and ratings.
New Competency Features in This Ninth Edition �e coming decade will bring an increasing integration of mental and physical health services as we move to new, more sophisticated and complete systems to help clients and patients. Innovations in team practice are bringing counselors and psychotherapists together more closely with physicians, nurses, and human service workers. Furthermore, neuroscience, neurobiology, and brain research are leading to awareness that body and mind are one. Actions in the counseling session affect not only thoughts, feelings, and behaviors but also what occurs in the brain and body. Many exciting new opportunities await both students and instructors.
�is ninth edition of Intentional Interviewing and Counseling seeks to prepare Intentional Interviewing and Counseling seeks to prepare Intentional Interviewing and Counseling students for culturally intentional and flexible interviewing, counseling, and psychotherapy. �e following features have been added or strengthened as we prepare for this new future.
● Listening lights up the brain. �e power and importance of attending behavior and empa- thy are now further validated by neuroscience research showing that specific parts of the brain are activated during empathic listening.
● Crisis counseling, suicide assessment and prevention, and a transcript of cognitive behavioral therapy are given increased attention. Students can take the learning from earlier chapters therapy are given increased attention. Students can take the learning from earlier chapters therapy to develop beginning competence in these critical aspects of practice. �e CBT transcript shows the specifics of work with automatic thoughts and demonstrates clearly how students can use this strategy.
● Included is a newly integrated chapter on the action influencing skills (Chapter 12). action influencing skills (Chapter 12). action influencing skills �e skills of self-disclosure, feedback, logical consequences, directives/instruction, and psychoeducation are now presented together through data and transcripts of a four- interview case study with a single client, who makes progress and becomes able to free herself with the counselor to discuss deeper, more critical relationship issues.

Preface xv
● Our emphasis on multicultural and social justice has once again been enlarged. With this multicultural and social justice has once again been enlarged. With this multicultural and social justice edition, we introduce Eduardo Duran’s concept of the Soul Wound and the historical and intergenerational issue of cultural and individual trauma. New to this edition are specific session recommendations to help clients who have encountered racism, sexism, bullying, and the many forms of harassment and oppression.
● �e critical issue of recognizing stress and its dangerous impact on the brain and body is stress and its dangerous impact on the brain and body is stress emphasized throughout, while also noting that appropriate levels of stress can be positive and necessary for learning, change, and building resilience to master more serious and challenging stress. Research in wellness and neuroscience has revealed the importance of positive psychology and therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLCs) as a supplement to stress management and all theoretical approaches.
● �e fifth stage of the interview—action—has been given increased attention with the action plan. �e action plan is a systematic, comprehensive approach to homework and generalization from the interview to the “real world.” Albert Ellis gave us the term homework, which for some clients feels like school. �e action plan is more systematic, with an emphasis on collaboration and client decision as to how to take the interview into daily life.
● Self-actualization, intentionality, and resilience are clarified and given increased emphasis as resilience are clarified and given increased emphasis as resilience goals for the interview. Resilience, especially, has become more central as an action goal to enable clients to adapt and grow as they experience stress. A new section focuses on what we would like to see for our clients as a result of the counseling session. Of course we want to facilitate their reaching their own desired ends, but we also seek to encourage the development of resilience skills to better cope with future stresses and challenges.
● Increased attention and emphasis is given to transcripts in most chapters, showing how the transcripts in most chapters, showing how the transcripts skills are used in the interview and their impact on client conversation, leading to personal growth. We see how empathy is demonstrated and rated in the session. �e Client Change Scale illustrates how the client is learning and progressing the session. At times, reading key transcripts aloud will bring the interview even more to the here and now.
● Increased integration of cutting-edge neuroscience with counseling skills. Counseling and psychotherapy change the brain and build new neural networks in both client and counselor through neural plasticity and neurogenesis. Special attention is paid to portions of the brain (with new illustrations) that are affected in the helping process. Neuroscience research stresses a positive wellness orientation to facilitate neural development, along with positive mental health. An updated neuroscience/neurobiology appendix with additional practical implications is also included. Students will find that virtually all of what we do in the helping fields is supported by neuroscience research.
● One of the most important changes in this edition is a refined and more precise definition of empathy. Drawing from neuroscience, paraphrasing is now associated with cognitive empathy, reflection of feeling with affective empathy, and mentalizing (understanding the client’s world more holistically) with the summary.
● CourseMate, our optional online package, a popular and effective interactive ancillary, has been updated. �e many case studies and interactive video-based exercises provide practice and further information leading to competence. Downloadable forms and feedback sheets make it easier for students to develop a Portfolio of Competence. Students who seriously use these resources report that they understand the session better and perform better on examinations.

Acknowledgments Our Thanks to Our Students National and international students have been important over the years in the development of this book. We invite students to continue this collaboration. Weijun Zhang, a former student of Allen, is now the leading coach and management consultant in China. He wrote many of the National and International Perspectives on Counseling Skills boxes, which enrich our understanding of multicultural issues. Amanda Russo, a student at Western Kentucky University, allowed us to share some of her thoughts about the importance of practicing microskills. We give special attention to Nelida Zamora and SeriaShia Chatters, both former students of Carlos. Nelida worked with us closely in the development of two sets of videos, Basic Influencing Skills (3rd ed.) and Basic Influencing Skills (3rd ed.) and Basic Influencing Skills Basic Stress Management Skills for Basic Stress Management Skills for Basic Stress Management Skills Alexander Street Press/Microtraining Associates. Nelida Zamora also gave permission to use a transcript of her demonstration session with Allen in Chapters 9 and 10. SeriaShia Chatters helped develop the DVD sets and book videos, important in making the nature of helping skills clear. She is now a faculty member at �e Pennsylvania State University. Our graduate students at the University of South Florida volunteered their time to participate in the videos that are on the supplemental website. We are especially appreciative of the quality work of Kerry Conca, Megan Hartnett, Jonathan Hopkins, Stephanie Konter, Floret Miller, Callie Nettles, and Krystal Snell.
Our Thanks to Our Colleagues Machiko Fukuhara, president of the Japanese Microcounseling Association and president of the International Council on Psychology, Inc., has been central in Mary and Allen’s life, work, and writing for many years. �omas Daniels, a distinguished Canadian professor, has also been with us as stimulating coauthor, friend, and provocateur. �ese two have been central in the development of microcounseling and its expansion internationally.
James Lanier has been a good friend and influential colleague. He is the person who helped us move from a problem-oriented language to one that is more positive and hopeful. Robert Marx developed the Relapse Prevention form of Chapter 14. Mary and Allen’s two-hour meeting with Viktor Frankl in Vienna clarified the centrality of meaning in counseling, along with specifics for treatment. William Matthews was especially helpful in formulating the five-stage interview structure. Lia and Zig Kapelis of Flinders University and Adelaide University are thanked for their support and participation while Allen and Mary served twice as visiting professors in South Australia.
David Rathman, Chief Executive Officer of Aboriginal Affairs, South Australia, has constantly supported and challenged this book, and his influence shows in many ways. Matthew Rigney, also of Aboriginal Affairs, was instrumental in introducing us to new ways of thinking. �ese two people first showed us that Western individualistic ways of thinking are incomplete, and therefore they were critical in bringing us early to an understanding of multicultural issues.

To the Student: Demystifying the Helping Process Demystify: make less mysterious or remove the mystery from.
—Webster’s Online Dictionary
Demystify: to make something easier to understand. —Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary & Thesaurus
What makes counseling and psychotherapy work? �e actual nature of what is happening in the session remained mysterious until 1938, when Carl Rogers, founder of person-centered counseling, began to provide answers. As the first to demystify, he used the newly invented wire recorder to record live counseling sessions. He soon found that what therapists said they

did in the interview was not what actually happened. Among his important discoveries was that an empathic relationship between counselor and client is fundamental to success.
As audio technology progressed, recording and analyzing interviews became common. Nonetheless, questions remained. Among them were “What are the key behaviors facilibehaviors facilibehaviors - tating client growth?” Finding the central components of this interpersonal relationship called therapy remained elusive. “What is listening?” “Is nonverbal behavior an important aspect of successful therapy?” “How best can we structure an effective session and treat- ment plan?”
Demystifying the behaviors of a successful counseling session. Until the microskills approach came along, the counseling and psychotherapy field had not yet identified the specific actions and behaviors of effective interviewing. With colleagues at Colorado State University, Allen obtained a grant from the Kettering Foundation to research the interview in depth. For the first time, the group was able to video record using 2-inch-wide videotape (compare that to your smartphone—the world changes). Until this point, no one had examined how verbal skills are related to nonverbal behavior.
Attending, the first behavioral skill. �e importance of listening (later termed attending behavior) came to the CSU group almost by chance. To test our new technology, we videotaped Rhonda, our secretary, in a demonstration session. She totally failed to attend to the student she was interviewing—looked away, had awkward verbal hesitations, and shifted her body uncomfortably. She frequently changed the topic, seldom following the interviewee. When we reviewed the video, we identified attending behavior dimensions for the first time: appropriate eye contact, comfortable body language and facial expression, a pleasant and smooth vocal tone, and verbal following—staying with the client’s topic. �ree of the key elements of listening and communicating empathy turned out to be nonverbal, a major discovery for our highly verbal profession.
When Rhonda and Allen viewed the videotape, she noticed the same behaviors we listed above. After a short discussion period, Rhonda went back for another video session and listened effectively, and even looked like a counselor. All that happened in a half-hour!
Taking microskill learning home. �e next level of demystification came when Rhonda returned after the weekend. “I went home, I attended to my husband, and we had a beautiful weekend!” We had not expected that learned interview behavior would generalize to real life. We became aware of the importance of teaching communication microskills to clients and patients. Children, couples, families, management trainees, psychiatric patients, refugees, and many others have now been taught specifics of communication via the skills taught in this book. �ink of microskill teaching as an effective counseling and therapy change strategy in itself.
Demystify your own helping style through video. �is book, Intentional Counseling and Interviewing, asks you to look at yourself on video as you practice counseling skills. �e majority of you now have smartphones, computers, or small cameras that provide the opportunity to see yourself as others see you. Go through practice sessions with classmates and friends and obtain valuable feedback.
�e microskills demystification goes viral. Allen’s first book was translated into multiple languages and has become a regular part of the curriculum in counseling, social work, psychology, and other departments in the United States and abroad. Working for her doctoral degree at the University of Massachusetts, Mary soon joined Allen and was the first

person to teach listening skills to managers. Carlos, trained in the microskills as part of his graduate program in Chile, soon taught them as part of the first course on counseling skills in South America and has translated the skills into Spanish.
What about multicultural issues? About a year after the identification of key skills of listening, Allen was enthusiastically teaching a workshop. He talked of attending behavior, including the importance of eye contact, but then a beginning counselor from Alaska challenged him and described her experience with Native Inuits. She pointed out that traditional people could see direct eye contact and close face-to-face interaction as uncaring or even hostile. One can still attend, but we need to consider the natural nonverbal and verbal communication style of each culture. �is led us to give central attention to multicultural issues, as you will see throughout this text.
And now, the demystification of neuroscience and neurobiology. Our most recent venture has been into this newly relevant field. Research in neuroscience has further demystified the helping process. Not too surprising is the discovery that almost all of what has been done in our field is validated by neuroscience: counseling changes the brain (and the body). Neurobiology has become relevant as we learn the impact of stress and trauma on mental and physical health. Appendix IV provides a detailed basic discussion with many and physical health. Appendix IV provides a detailed basic discussion with many and illustrations. We recommend referring there for more specifics as you read and discover neuroscience within the chapters.
�e National Institute of Mental Health is leaving the pathology model of the present Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in favor of brain-based assessment and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in favor of brain-based assessment and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders treatment. Research on what happens in therapy is changing rapidly. �e holistic brain/ body approach now includes exploration of how personal interaction even changes DNA and gene functioning, depression as a biological disease, and how social conditions affect human development. Such findings are leading to a new holistic approach suggesting new strategies for facilitating physical and mental health.
Many clients will come to you with some knowledge of the brain, because of extensive coverage of new findings in the media. Even with a beginning knowledge of key brain processes, you can now explain the importance of focusing on stress management, increasing emotional regulation, and using counseling and therapy collaboratively to build resilience and developmental growth. Whether we come from a traditional psychoanalytic, a cognitive behavioral, or an environmentally oriented approach, how we affect the client’s brain and body will be clarified by neuroscience, neurobiology, and related fields.
To be continued. �e learning process of demystification constantly brings something new and exciting.
