More About the Author
I am a native of Decatur, Georgia. My parents were Virginians. My wife, Claire, is a Connecticut Nutmegger. Two of my three children were born in Birmingham, Alabama, the other in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. My previous academic appointments were at Fairfield University and UAB but since 1990 I have been a professor in the Department of Counseling at Wake Forest University.
I have been president of the American Counseling Association, the American Association of State Counseling Boards, and Chi Sigma Iota (international counseling honorary). I have written about counselor identity, family therapy, groups, counseling theories, ethics, and the creative arts in counseling. I am a licensed professional counselor and continue to practice as a clinician. I have taught counseling courses throughout the United States and in Canada, Estonia, Austria, and Malaysia. In the spring of 2010 I was a Fulbright Specialist to Turkey. Counseling has also taken me as a keynoter or presenter to South Africa, Argentina, Australia, and Germany. I was a mental health responder after 9/11 in New York (Pier 94)and after the Virginia Tech shootings. In the mid-1990s I worked in the homes of Mother Teresa.
When not writing books I enjoy reading history and humor, swimming, walking, and "hanging out" with my family. I am somewhat of an existentialist although I use a variety of approaches in my work as a counselor.

A little dry,

This review is from: Community and Agency Counseling (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This textbook is dry. This book basically went over everything that I have learned during the last year of graduate school. It is a great resource for a person looking into going into counseling. It covers all things that a counselor may do while working in the community.

This review is from: Community and Agency Counseling (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This text is well thought out. It has poems and helpful charts and diagrams, but I don't think I learned very much new material that I hadn't already read in other books or class.
