This text is a required reading for my work in a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. Very well written, great information and lots of thoughts on many ethical issues. If this book doesn't make you question yourself, I am not sure anything else will. I will keep this text.

Ethical, Legal, and Professional Issues in Counseling, Updated (2nd Edition)4 reviews
Theodore P. Remley, Barbara Herlihy
Prentice Hall, 2006
Learn about counseling ethics
I don't really have anything to compare this book with, but it gave me a pretty good idea of counseling ethics, laws and morality. It's a very good book, it's not written in a complicated learned language, so it's pretty understandable. And it has an ACA Code of Ethics in the appendix.

At Risk Youth: A Comprehensive Response for Counselors, Teachers, Psychologists, and Human Services ...1 review
J. Jeffries McWhirter, Benedict T. McWhirter, ...
Brooks Cole, 2006
Good introduction to at-risk youth
The McWhirter's book provides a nice introduction to workingwith at-risk youth. This book is undoubtedly marked towardsundergraduate students and as a result the authors do a few things that are a bt too "cute" for my taste--like using their poetry and sayings at the beginning each chapter and using a tree metaphor to talk about at-risk behavior. Also, I did not find the case studies ...

Howar Rosenthal
Routledge, 2007
I smoked the exam!
I used Rosenthal's Encyclopedia and his tapes (I was given an older version by a friend who was already licensed) to study for my NCE. Many of my friends found themselves having to take the exam a second and third time because they could not pass what they said was an "impossible exam." I, on the other hand, passed on the first try and got a very high score. I even had whole sections where I ...

Substance Abuse: Information for School Counselors, Social Workers, Therapists, and Counselors (4th Edition)3 reviews
Gary L. Fisher, Thomas C. Harrison
Allyn & Bacon, 2008
Substance Abuse; Info for School Counselors - Review
This book clearly explains the relationship an addict has with their drug of choice, so that someone who may never have used/abused can understand the seemingly irrational behavior of the addict. But, the author does not stop there. Harrison goes on to explain various reasons why the addict's family may knowingly or unknowingly support the addict's habit, thus keeping the addict from recovery.

ACA Ethical Standards Casebook2 reviews
Barbara Herlihy, Gerald Corey
American Counseling Association, 2005
A great review of the Code of Ethics with clear examples.
This book is a must-have for the counselor or the counseling graduate student. Each section of the Code of Ethics is set forth with two applicable examples. One example is the "do" and one example is the "don't." These examples clarify the Code and make it much more understandable.

The Convenient Groom (Nantucket Love Story Series #2)11 reviews
Denise Hunter
Thomas Nelson, 2008
Wonderful Romance
The Convenient Grooms follows Surrender Bay but stands totally on its own. I'm not even sure characters carry-over. But this book was amazing. A sweet romance that had me rooting so hard for the hero, and grieving with the heroine. Denise pulled on all of my heart strings and brought this book in for a very compelling ending.

As I read it, I thought of friends of mine who are educators and lawyers and I know they would benefit from it tremendously, so I will be giving copies to them. ...

Healing Stones (Sullivan Crisp Series #1)14 reviews
Nancy Rue, Stephen Arterburn
Thomas Nelson, 2008
Excellent!
This is a great book on recovery from a broken marriage. The authors take you on a healing journey in a realistic fashion. It is not the atypical Christian answer of praying harder and just "give it to God." The book is of course a work of fiction, but the recovery themes are real to life and the book doesn't whitewash the difficulty of rebuilding a broken relationship. It is a must read for ...
