Absolutely excellent book. I have not yet started my Masters, but I recommend you read this before you do. You will certainly have a leg up in the counseling field! This book includes enough to help any budding counselor, but there is still so much more to cover that I hope Stephanie writes a sequel. Highly recommended!
