Great if you are taking class with Dr. Santangelo

This is the book you need at William Paterson university, if you are in the counseling program. Class 606-60. Great class, and the book is a very helpful tool to understand and get more detail and theories and practices. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get into the counseling profession. I will likely get made fun of for writing this review.
