Traditional counseling, with its talk-listen approach, is based on the belief that people who come for help are auditory (hearing) learners. But what if a person's hearing channel is his weakest means of learning? Chances are that he may neither listen nor talk. In HOW TO HELP A FRIEND, Paul Welter shows you, as a helper, how to discover your friend's "living channels": his capabilities or deficiencies in feeling, thinking, choosing, and doing. Then, in order to give him specific help for his problem, you must also discover his "learning channels": hearing, seeing, touching/moving. (For instance, right now you are using the seeing channel as you read this line of print.) By finding his strengths, you can bring him new information and help through the channel in which he operates most easily.
