Media Reviews
"Those of us who teach theory lack books designed for the application of those theories. This book fills that void in that it provides a text focused on this application of theories and assessment of application effectiveness."
- Tony W. Cawthon, Alumni Distinguished Professor of Leadership, Counselor Education, and Human Organization Development, Clemson University
"Many graduate students lack exposure to a diverse array of programs and application is frequently lacking in ‘theory’ textbooks ; I am pleased to see the emphasis on ‘real life’ examples in this book."
- Suzanne Maniss, Program Director, Professional Counseling and Student Affairs in Higher Education, Stephen F. Austin State University
