Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This clear and concise study guide provides sample examinations and guidance for counsellors who wish to become certified by either the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education (CACREP) or the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), the major counsellour accreditation institutions in the United States. This Second Edition brings up to date the names of key organizations, and adds new information relevant to changes in the counsellour certification exam.
The authors overview the counselling profession, and cover study methods and tips for overcoming test anxiety and stress. They also discuss, step-by-step, topics such as: human growth and development; social and cultural foundations; the helping relationship; group dynamics, process and counselling; lifestyle and career development; appraisal of individuals; research and evaluation; and professional orientation. Each chapter includes a summary, a list of important terms and practice tests.

I thought this book was just okay. The questions at the end of each section were very helpful, however i noticed a few typos and realized some of the answers were wrong. I only noticed 2 errors, however it makes me wonder how many more there might have been that i did not notice.

Everybody learns differently, so this book might work for you. However, I read the very first two chapters, and never opened it again. The NCE exam is a multiple choice exam... this book's fill in the blank and short essay style questions absolutely did not help me prepare for the NCE. The fill in the blank questions were extremely picky at a level of detail not on the actual NCE (I took it April 16.) Yet, the "summaries" offered in each chapter did not cover a large portion of the material covered in my Masters counseling program. I also found it to be a boring read, worse than most textbooks. Buy the Encyclopedia of Counseling instead!
