 Lots of info but very disorganized October 10, 2009
P-dog (Boulder, CO)
I was surprised at how disorganized this book is. There are lots of typos and no discernible structure. There are some good tips and ideas but many of them, without context, don't make a lot of sense.
I think this is good when I am stuck writing a treatment plan and I know the kinds of things I want to start doing but I am having trouble putting words to it.
However, if this book was given some structure and contextualized the tips, it would be much, MUCH more useful.
 Textbook for teaching counseling skills July 5, 2009
Ellyn Herb (San Jose, CA)
This is one of the best books I have used to teach psychotherapy skills to Master's level counselors. There is a wealth of information about psychopathology, counseling theories and of course, specific interventions for many, many disorders, much more than in the DSM. It is a resource for students to use throughout their careers.

 DISORGANIZED!!! April 21, 2009
mary38m (Orlando, FL)
Could not have been more disappointed with this text. I was in search of how to write treatment plans and thought I'd found the ideal book. Ugh! The content might be sufficient but I have NEVER seen a book more disorganized and without direction. I still don't have a real grasp as to how it's laid out. Very frustrating~

4 out of 5 found this review helpful
lots of material. kind of a mess. not at all efficient or easy to use. the index is irritating, just one big long list, jumping around alot in themes and content. i spend more time trying to find material in the book then if i had done the work myself. it reads like class notes, which is not necessarily a negative, but the content is basic for the mental/social health practitioner. you'll get more substance by typing in the topic you're seeking information on in a good sw/psy/medicine journal search engine. it's customary for alumni to have internet access to the electronic journals of one's graduate school library. a simple search would bring much more substantial material and take a lot less time.

This is a real helpful book to have in the human services field especially, now with all the changes that are occuring. I would highly recommend it, not only for therapist, but also any other person who works closely with clients.
