Review:

"The authors have done an excellent job of writing a practical beginner's guide to the counseling process. The approach is pragmatic and eclectic, but provides enough depth and specificity to allow students to realistically envision and adopt the role of a practicing clinician."

"I really like the authors' hands-on approach and I particularly like the first-person accounts from clinicians and clients...I also like the frequent exercises as it gives students the opportunity to practice, and reflect on, what they've learned...All the essential topics are given full chapter treatment and the chapters are organized in a logical manner."

"This text provides the foundation for all levels of practice whether it is a beginning undergraduate student or a student beginning graduate study...The writing style is clear and easy to follow. I find the exercises well developed and useful in inducing insight and awareness to the student at all levels as well as refreshing to the seasoned clinician."
