I am judging the book by only reading Chapter 1.This is a horrible textbook. Besides not having any illustrations, the spelling is awful! So awful that I had to reread the sentence/paragraph again because of how frustrated I was! What 3rd edition Master level textbook has so many mistakes! Chapter 1 had so many mistakes that I stopped counting. For example, page 7 paragraph 3 has 3 misspelled words: stregthened (instead of strengthened), orginal (instead of original), and acheivement (instead of achievement). Oh did I mention that the book obviously does not know how to spell achievement because it was misspelled numerous times throughout chapter 1! I am so disappointed that a book used for my masters class had so many obvious mistakes. The publisher needs a new editor or a better speller checker program!

This book was very helpful when achieving my masters degree in counseling and human resource development with an emphasis is school counseling. School counselors are in such high demand, preparing them for all possible situations and equipping them with the tools they need to succeed is incredibly important and this book helps to do just that.

This book was required for class. I can't say I've read it from cover to cover and they authors go into waaaay too much detail about the topics to be useful....I'm looking for application....not all theory.

This textbook is well-organized and interesting. It provides useful references and is a book I can see myself using beyond my graduate studies.

Very informative. The book is an excellent resource for anyone who is a school counselor and for anyone wanting to become a school counselor.

The information in the book is quite useful. Although this is the case, the reading can be dry at times.

Book was helpful for my graduate class. It taught me what I needed to know and was actually an interesting read as this is what I was concentrating my counseling degree on.

The chapter orders are very different from the latest edition, but it still has all the necessary information I needed to complete my class at a much lower price point.
