reviewers have to say about this text:

“The key strengths of this text are its organization, its inclusion of material relevant to the practice of counseling in multiple contexts, and its coverage of self care issues. Numerous examples as well as exercises contribute much to students’ potential understanding of key concepts.”-Stephen R. Wester, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

“This text is very practical and clinically relevant for the beginning counseling student. I am especially glad to see sections devoted to assessment and a brief review of these as this is an area that counselors need to be well versed in and proficient with terminology.This text is very well organized, well sequenced, and addresses comprehensive information that beginning counselors students need to know about.”-Margery Shupe, Xavier University
