I bought this book to go along with the Professional Counselor: A Process Guide to Helping. This book was an excellent choice. Perry's book is well written and funny! The chapters were easy to read and the book never claims to be the end all of counseling books. Perry provides excellent examples of the techniques and the skills that he discuss in this book. The living into the lesson are practical and help you understand the skills that Perry is trying to teach. I appreciated that Perry discussed the counseling techniques that he was competent in and that he encouraged the reader to get supervision in a therapy that the reader would like to practice.

This book helps those who are entering the counseling profession during their internships. It has been my most valuble counseling tool yet.

This is a book that every university psychologist's professor should be. It's like a cookbook where the author's recommendations presented step by step.

It doesn't matter how long you're stuck in grad school, after graduation you magically forget everything. Before I got my first "real job" I read through this book for a fresh foundation (panic stricken and all). It's easy to breeze through, chapters are broken down well and I found it rather interesting as well. A great crash course!

This book is one of the best texts I have read so far in emphasizing the practical aspects of doing counselling.

The book came fast and it was in great condition! Plus the price was affordable compared to other books. Will do another purchase again
