Compared to everything else I have been forced to read for university this is probably the one I enjoyed the most. If you are planning on going into counselling psychology this is a great book to read to help grasp all the different concepts, and why one may or may not work for you. It was easily digestible, and the formulaic layout of each chapter made it simple to navigate. Overall, I do recommend this as an educational resource.

I enjoyed exploring counseling theories outlined in this textbook. The fact that each chapter broke a theory down into its components (“personality development,” “counseling stages and techniques,” for example) made it easier to compare/contrast theories and understand nuances between them.

Reading about Psychoanalysis, Adlerian, and Existential counseling were most interesting to me.
