Concise, comprehensible, and practical, it is probably one of the best investments a prospective client can make prior to beginning counselling.

Originally published as part of our ‘Top Picks’ selection in 2003, but without a full review, this book is now starting to show its age. However, I’ve retained the listing for this book here in the new reviews section specifically because I still believe it is a great introductory resource for consumers.
