4.0 out of 5 stars
A quick, easy reference,
By Jennifer Thompson (Montpelier, VT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Elements of Counseling (Brooks/Cole Series in Counseling and Human Services) (Paperback)
This book is a great starting point for those interested in learning more about counseling. It is modeled after the English book "The Elements of Style," and it's numbered format makes it really easy to follow. It can be read from front to back, or skipping around chapters. It was a very easy read and I will enjoy having it around to re-read some of the "elements" as the need arises. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in a quick overview of the theories in counseling.
