Helping: How to Offer, Give, and Receive Helpby Edgar Schein
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this seminal book on helping, corporate culture and organizational development guru Ed Schein analyzes the dynamics of helping relationships, explains why help is often not helpful, and shows what any would-be-helper must do to insure that help is actually provided. Many words are used for helping — assisting, aiding, advising, coaching, consulting, counseling, supporting, teaching, and many more — but they all have common dynamics and processes. Schein exposes and shows how to resolve the inequities and role ambiguities of helping relationships, describes the different roles that helpers can take once the relationship is balanced, and explains how to build a balanced relationship and how to intervene as that relationship develops. In this short but profound book Schein examines the social dynamics that are at play in helping relationships in order to better understand why offers of help are sometimes refused or resented, and how to make help more helpful. Book News Annotation:Schein (management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) explores
the psychological and social dynamics of helping relationships,
useful for human resources professionals and therapists. The author
examines different theoretical concepts of helping and assesses what
a would-be helper must do to establish and maintain trust with
clients with a variety of needs. A great deal of coverage is given to
best practices in the process of inquiry as it relates to the trust
essential to any helping professional.
