This was very helpful as a study tool while preparing for the NCMHCE! I would highly recommend it for anyone that wants a refresher on several of the techniques and theories commonly mentioned on the exam!

This is a magnificent book. I use it for my supervision group and am able to break it down by chapter and discuss a technique with the counselors in my group.
