Theory and practice of counseling and psychotherapy:
This is a great book, I did not receive the DVD with the product and Amazon was very helpful in over nighting me a replacement to have it for class on time. The book is interesting and one I will not return at the end of the semester! Thank you Amazon
Helpful but lengthy and dry:
This book has so much great information but it is presented in such a way that it can be difficult to get into. The chapters could be much more concise.

The author writes well but the overall read and content of the book is dry.
