Title

Revisiting basic counseling skills with children

Abstract

Counseling with children can be challenging for counselors whose training focused on adult clients. The purpose of this article is to offer information to counselors seeking to improve their skills with children, revisiting a topic discussed in an earlier Journal of Counseling & Development article by P. Erdman and R. Lampe (1996). Examples of microskills from actual counseling sessions and descriptions of stages and themes in the counseling process enhance understanding of child counseling.
