I purchased this as a supplement to my graduate coursework in Mental Health Counseling. It is, of course, a well-known manual, and is very helpful for the mental health professional. Unfortunately, it is difficult to navigate, and requires some patience. However, it provides a wealth of information, and is worth the effort

Smells aweful
Customer Rating:
The book came in a package that did not protect it very well and it got bent out of shape. Then when I opened the package and started reading the book it smelled like rat poison. It is a very important book for my profession and I can't stand to open it.
