Counselor As Consultant (Counseling and Professional Identity)

Text book requirement.

One of my professors wrote this book and it really is a good read. Very useful for those learning about the consultation process.

This text is probably okay but as a textbook, it is slow-moving and repetitive. I wouldn't recommend just information reading.

Good price

The book defines vocabulary terms and describes processes/roles/etc in fairly understandable terms.However, some of the case examples DO NOT match the examples and are accidentally repeated. For example, the same case is used to illustrate a consultant assuming a directive role and a consultant assuming a process role in chapter 2. For me, this makes differentiating the two confusing. On page 32, the paragraph following Case 2.3 describes a different case (not 2.3) that is not present in the chapter (if it's in the book at all). I'm only 3 chapters into this book and I'm dreading having to finish it for class. Yikes!

This book restates the same ideas over and over again. Who cares what the name is of each role the counselor is in, as long as the job is getting done? This book nitpicks what could fit on a cocktail napkin.

Low rating for the ebook. You can't see clearly the tables or graphics and they aren't clickable to enlarge. THe case studies don't align in the text properly so that they flow where they should be. The content is fine, but very superficial and not deep, which is par for the course for this publisher's counseling textbook series. The book is also full of typos and grammatical errors, at least in the eBook edition.Very disappointing.

This book is almost impossible to read Because you spend so much time trying to muddle through all the writing errors.

Written in easy to understand language and great coverage of topics
