"Dryden provides this very short and accessible text for people at the very beginning of their counseling careers, but this could serve as a refresher for those who seek to re-evaluate their involvement and purpose. Easy to carry about and easy to search, the text builds on working alliance theory based on the work of Bordin, in which counseling can be looked upon as comprising a number of important domains, bonds, goals tasks and views, with the emphasis being on what happens between a counselor and client within those domains."
