Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The authors suggest that developing a personal style of helping involves examining alternative methods and theories (including the microskills approach) and organizing them in a meaningful manner. This implies a thoughtful and intentional process, rather than simply "doing your own thing" or relying solely on personal history or basic knowledge of the microskills. While learning the microskills and identifying what is most meaningful to you are important components of developing a personal style, they are not sufficient on their own.
