I wish I could give this book less than one star. It is terrible. Truly awful. After four years for an undergraduate degree and two-and-a-half more for a masters, I can say this is the most soul-crushing, deadly-boring, poorly written text I've come across. It seems as if the author is playing a game with himself: "If it takes ten words to make my point, how many more words can I add to stretch it to a paragraph?" You'd think the publisher is paying by the word. If there is literally ANY other book you can buy, please: Buy something else. This book is so bad my classmates have actually wondered out loud if Mr. Zunker secretly hates the person to whom the book is dedicated. Yes. That bad.I get it: career counseling is a less-than-scintillating topic under any circumstances. And I appreciate the time and effort Mr. Zunker clearly put in to writing it. This book desperately needs an editor to help the author say what he needs to say, because he could say it with a lot fewer words and in a way that doesn't make me absolutely dread cracking the book open.
This is an awful book. The author writes it in a way that is unclear and confusing to understand. My whole class is confused behind all the theories in Ch. 2 which I feel like he should have had more chapters explaining the theories without making them seem similar from each other.
I find this to be a mediocre textbook. The writing is bland and often uses many words without saying much. I wouldn't recommend this unless it's been assigned for a class and you don't have any other options.
I think this book did a great job of explaining the different models and theories of counseling psychology. It went in depth on many of the concepts and made for great learning.
Basic and very high-level..you know very little about a lot after having read this book.
Helped me look for information quicker than a physical book.
dry and poorly written.
I received my book!
