Kuigi pealkirja järgi võib arvata, et see raamat on suunatud nõustajatele, on see tegelikult suunatud teiste erialade esindajatele, kelle töös esineb episoodilist nõustamist. Samas ma arvan, et see on väga hea ka inimesele, kes konkreetselt nõustamistööd alustab. Raamat võtab läbi hulga erinevaid teemasid ja räägib erinevatest teraapiasuundadest tulenevatest meetoditest; sellest, milliseid raskusi võib nõustamisel ette tulla; mis on nõustamisel oluline ja ka nõustaja enesehoolitsuse ja supervisiooni rollist.

Kuigi raamat keskendub episoodilisele nõustamisele, ei tohiks see heidutada lugejaid. Episoodilisi nõustamisi tuleb ette kõigil, ka psühholoogidel. Kuigi teooria võib kohati olla kordav, on just näited need, mis illustreerivad teooriat. Raamatus on hästi toodud erinevate koolkondade vaatepunkte ning nende parimate osade kasutamist nõustamisel. Raamat on väga hea lugemine nii huvilistele kui ka nõustamise valdkonnas tegutsevatele inimestele, hoolimata nende haridusest ja oskusdest.

I had to read this for school first year in social studies. Because I have worked already for years, and studied psychology this was not a book that would give me much, but I saw how much it gave to students with no previous experience. I think it is simple a straight to the point.

Jälle üks kohustuslik kirjandus, mille lugemine läks üsna ladusalt. Lihtsas keeles ja kasulik lugemine kõigile, kes mingil viisil nõustamisega kokku puutuvad.

After a frustrating first few chapters fraught with blatantly obvious statements and grammatical errors this is actually quite a comprehensive and useful book for beginning embedded counsellors. Will be mighty frustrating for specialist or advanced counsellors.
