Counseling Children and Adolescents, Second Edition

Summary: A "Must Have" for School Counselors
Review: I am pleased this text was selected for my graduate level course in Counselor Education. As an elementary School Counselor, I am involved with a diversity of issues. Counseling Children and Adolescents is a comprehensive manual offering intervention techniques and developmentally appropriate strategies to address problems of children. It is an easy to read book with an abundance of valuable information. I found very useful the information on brief therapy, family counseling, and working with exceptionalities. This text will be among the first I seek whenever confronted with a challenging behavioral problem. The practical nature of this book makes it a must have for beginning and experienced counselors.

Summary: Not Much There
Review: This book offers some great theoretical support, however, it is often preachy and shows the counselor, in my opinion, as ridgid and stale.
