Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Why reinvent the wheel?
There is not much to say other than this is all you need. There are forms that can be used, tweaked etc as well as the reasons why you need them. Why reinvent the wheel? It's all here and there is also a CD with all the forms included. Great resource for counselors!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - So useful! Highly recommended.
After several years at a CMHC, I recently launched a private practice. This book was enormously helpful.
