"Students tell me informally and in semester-end evaluations that it (Capuzzi/Gross) is one of the best texts they have ever used...that the authors seem to be speaking directly to them in convincing and interesting ways."

James Gold

"I like the coverage of the main and more alternative/emerging counseling therapies...I like the writing styles and the fact that there are different authors writing about the different theories."

Markus Bidell
