Are you kidding me?!!

This book is ridiculous!! It is insanely expensive and yet it is FULL of grammatical and typographical errors. I cannot believe that professionals who write textbooks would allow so many publication errors. It's unbelievable!!

Almost fully satisfied

I am happy with my purchase. I was a little surprised that it was an instructors edition, which was not wrote in the item description. I should have ordered it sooner, because it took longer then expected to arrive. Otherwise, I am satisfied with my purchase. I would purchase from this user again.

Great resource for wellness professionals

This book was a required text for a graduate counseling class. I recommend it for anyone interested in why we are like we are and how we developed to get that way!!
