New book
Perfect condition; new book; great packaging and arrived on time. This book cost less than paying my school's book store for it and it was deliever-free!

This is THE Book for aspiring play therapists!
I was required to read the book for a class I was completing on Play therapy. It was a very easy read, well organized with a good mixture of research and anecdotal information.What makes the book a truly outstanding resource is Dr. Landreth's very candid insight into the practice of play therapy as well as his willingness to share with the reader his very sincere love and respect for children.

Clear, concise, engaging introduction to play therapy
This book is a necessary addition to any therapists library, especially those who are just beginning or are interested in knowing the foundations for therapy with children.Clearly written and well organized, it is easy to read and an invaluable reference.Highly recommended for beginning play therapists ...

QUITE BASIC CONTENT but GOOD, however ...
I was personally disappointed when receiving the book. Particulary disappointed : In matter of content, which is clearly not bad, it is easy to find superior introductory manuals in the field. Certainly not a major book nor a classic as suggested in the presentation.
Excellent book discussing real psychology
This book has increased my understanding of human behavior greatly.
Teacher/student friendly
Easy reading. Lots of REAL-LIFE examples to demonstrate the principles and procedures.This is my FAVORITE behavior book, I refer to it all of the time!!! ... Read more

Psychiatric Rehabilitation
In reviewing this book I found it to be interesting and educational at the same time. It is not dry reading for a subject that could well be that. I will be able to use this book in my clinical practice when I graduate this summer.

Superb introduction to psychosocial rehab for new clinicians
Superb introduction to psychosocial rehabilitation.Introduces the experiece of mental illness from the client's perspecitive, covers symptoms and etiology of severe and persistent mental illness as well as treatment strategies.The book is simply written using case illustrations.I have used it for new staff at our community mental health clinic for the past 2 years.The book was popular - so popular that it disappeared and I am replacing it with several copies, one for each team. I would recommend the book as a resource for any student of a mental health program or any staff person trying to get a handle on working effectively with clients who have severe and persistent mental illness. ...

This is a great book!
This is a really good book... I only wish I had it when I was a graduate student social worker.It would have helped me so much.What a terrific resource.My only regret:Susan you ought to write more books for student and entry level social workers.The reading was enjoyable, clear and took the mystery out of how-to-begin.Thank you, Susan.

Very helpful in explaining steps of interview process.
I found this book to be very helpful in supervision of both students and professionals preparing for licensure. I have the 1993 edition and cannot find the audio tapes for the book which are named on the jacket, ThinkingLike a Therapist ISBN 0-393-70160-3. Can you help me locate these tapes? ... Read more

Excellent Primer
This book is an excellent primer for a family therapist, and is written as such. The text does not assume that the reader knows anything. It is a good introduction to family therapy for those who go above and beyond family counseling. As a mental health counseling grad student, I noticed that the text stays within its scope of family therapyt and does not stray from a this model.

A must have for all beginning therapists!
This book will take you step-by-step through the process of doing psychotherapy from beginning to end. It is very user-friendly, basic and real. Out of my 8 textbooks this semester to read, this is the one that gets read first because of the valuable information it offers.

Great tool!
I ordered this book as a resource to assist me in my new position as a practitioner. I have found it so helpful I told the director of our organization who is recommending it to all his new hires. ... Read more

Goldmine of ideas for private practice
I have her earlier book, "Building Your Ideal Private Practice," which I love. This workbook reviews some of that but goes much further and offers many new ideas and some cutting edge concepts. Its very useful for those of us in private practice who need marketing and business help from someone who has been there, done that. Lynn is a therapist and business coach, so she is in a perfect place to help the rest of us. I went to one of her workshops, and then got this workbook. This workbook is very well organized, takes you through a plan month by month, adds a lot of concepts. I especailly loved the last sections, that looked at a developmental model for understanding the evolution of your practice over time. ... Read more

Psychology Themes and Variations
I was very satisfied with the quick delivery and the excellent condition of the book.I recommend buying from this seller.

Good
It was fast and i received my book within a week of my purchase. I recommened to buy books from this seller.

Great for distance learners!
I am taking all distance learning courses and I have found that this book is user friendly and informative. As a student taking distance learning courses it is important to have a good understanding of your text materials to do well. This book has many features to help you take better notes, become a better reader, and allows you to test your knowledge throughout various points of each chapter as well as at the end of each chapter. This book contains personal applications and critical thinking applications at the end of every chapter. These elements of the text allow the student to apply what they have learned to their personal experience as well as their educational experience. This is a great pick for the distance learner and any student who appreciates a good education. ... Read more

Limited in scope
The exercises are good, but limited in number.I've also had problems with the exercises appealing to a wide range of kids.The book is useful, and the philosophy that teens are doing their job by having their developmental crises is a positive change from the "disaster" of adolescence that we hear so much about.I would recommend it for those working with basically high-functioning kids with "normal" kinds of difficulties/crises.

A practical and creative approach
This book is noteworthy for its pratical approach. Along the book you can find lots of creative exercises to do with your teenage clients. I consider these activities an excellent resource even for individual therapy (someare very easily adapted), because they are ready to use (the authorprovides already made materials appropriate for this developmental phase),self diclosure eliciting and presented in a game-like fashion, what isappealing for the adolescents. The activities are divided into severalthemes, related with adolescent�s problems and concerns. Some of thesethemes are not easy to approach within the group due to some resistance,insecurity and fear of rejection by other members and by the leader. It�snecessary to know how to get to core of the hurting issues without makingthe group feel threatened. This is what this book is all about... ... Read more

Great "patter" revitalizer!!!
After 20 years as a hypnotherapist--to much of my induction and suggestion talk had become--automatic.This book has put new energy--new emotion into my sessions.

Expanded Edition - Much Bigger Than Original
This second edition of the book is about one third bigger than the original edition.It has all the contents the first book has, plus much more.
Inspiring Scripts
The book has a a variety of inductions, emerging scripts and scripts for dealing with assortment of situations a hypnotherapist may encounter in his practice.Most scripts contain metaphors which may work more effectively in one-on-one practice if they are adapted to the one's that may be more meaningful for the client.Read more

A Social Work Must
The information on treatment in direct practice of Social Work is a valuable tool for our helping profession.

A Must Have Reference
This book is excellent!It is very reader friendly and practical; not only does it describe the disorders thoroughly but it also discusses typical client characteristics, preferred therapist characteristics,tells intervention strategies that research has found works best for the particular disorder, and then provides a detailed treatment plan, along with, a case study. I found this book to be very useful for counseling professionals and students. It is also helpful when studying for the NCE Or NMHCE exam!

Concise, thorough, and easy to understand
There isn't much more to say. This book is concise -- it gets right to the point, every time. It is also thorough -- it covers everything you need to move on to advanced statistics. But, best of all, it presents the material in a way that is very easy to understand and allows students to apply their new knowledge to the behavioral sciences.

An awesome stats book!
I have taught statistics for many years and this is the best stats book I have seen. It is clearly written, has easily understood formulas, and excellent examples. I highly recommend it!

Good Stats Book
We are using this book for a doctoral level differential and inferential statistics course.Of course many of us are uncertain about statistics courses anyway since most of us do not have math backgrounds.However, the book explains the reasoning and procedures clearly with good examples, practice and learning modules along the way. I bought the study guide by Gravetter as well. ... Read more
