Review:

"This text is better than any other I have used in the career counseling area. When the discussion turns from the world of yesterday to the question of preparing counselors for the issues of tomorrow, this text is clearly the superior text I have seen."

"The text is comprehensive and thorough...The author continues to convey that career counseling is both an art and a science. The text is a 'gem' because the author's zest for the field comes through and his zeal in ferreting out the latest information in the field makes each edition truly up to date and just a new cover or reshuffling of chapters."
