Editorial Reviews

Review

The second edition is even better than the first. thisrelatively compact book provides the mental health worker with awealth of information regarding the professional delivery ofcounseling services. The book's chapters expound upon the changingrole of the counselor, opportunities for counselors, and future trendsand projections.In Chapter 3, Seligman does an excellent job of outlining diagnosticsystems and their use. She clearly explains the "Diagnostic and""Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" (4th ed., DSM-IV) anddiscusses the limitations of the DSM-IV. The most helpful partaddresses the disorders found in the DSM-IV, which includes 17 verybroad categories. Treatment planning is the other cornerstone of thisbook. it is the process of plotting out the counseling process so thatboth counselor and client have a road map that delineates how theywill proceed, allowing progress to be measured and providing a senseof structure.Seligman does an excellent job of outlining the steps in making adiagnosis and writing a suitable treatment plan. At the end of mostchapters she provides exercises that allow readers to check theirlevel of comprehension. She also devotes considerable attention to thetopics of intake interviewing and includes an appendix of keyquestions that facilitate diagnosis. In addition, readers areintroduced to theories of individual, group and family counseling.While this book cannot inform the reader of all aspects of counseling, it is quite comprehensive and a good reference for anyone who works ina treatment setting.'Federal Probation, December 1998 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most helpful text ever, July 7, 2007
This review is from: Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in Counseling (Hardcover)
I am currently in my last semester of a graduate degree in counseling psych, and this book is the best textbook I have read during my program. (And WOW, have I read a lot of books.) The book is easy to read, well categorized, gives a balanced amount of case examples, and takes a novice step by step through the process of writing a comprehensive treatment plan. I have found it to be indispensable information as I finish up my internship. I also found this book to work very well in conjunction with James Morrison's book, DSM-IV Made Easy: The Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis
