A well-organized study guide, it encompasses the coursework master's-level students are expected to know in order to graduate. This book is a must for every counseling student and is a handy resource tool for established mental professionals. It will also be a helpful guide for lay counselors, allowing quick reference into the varieties of theories and practical applications used in today's psychotherapy.
