Probably the most well-written and useful textbook I've been assigned to read while getting my school counseling certification.

I'm an edition behind with this book which was noticeable throughout my course, but the sixth edition is very expensive so I made do. This textbook is still very informative but doesn't dig deep enough into some of the techniques/interventions that we talked about in class.

Concise, readable, different chapters written by various practitioners and authorities; practical, well-organized, has links and references for future use.

Good basic info but parts felt out of touch and some of the dialogue examples for individual counseling didn’t feel real to me. The multicultural section could use an update maybe!

4.5 stars. Really great strategies discussed in this book, though I found the theories section a bit lacking.
