Review: Superb! - This is one of the best textbooks I've had the pleasure to use, and believe me, I've used a lot. It is clear and well-written, and in reading it you understand not just the information it presents but also why that information is important. Each chapter contains many anonymous comments called "Voices from the Field," written by practicing mental health counselors. These "voices" give a sometimes gritty but always authentic perspective that grounds and comforts the student. Here is one example: Of all the theories I've used--and believe me, I've used a bunch--REBT is the one I found most useful in my own life. I don't even practice it that much anymore with my clients, but I still use it every day inside my own head. So often, I get down on myself because I feel like i'm failing my clients or not doing as good a job as I should. Then I hear Ellis's voice in my head, confronting me about my "shoulds" and absolute judgments. It really does work miracles. Why don't I use it anymore with my clients? I don't know. I guess I just got bored with it after a while. It's not that it stopped working; really, it's powerful stuff. It's just that I got tired disputing the same old irrational beliefs over and over. I moved on to something new and more dynamic. But I still use it sometimes with clients who really seem like good candidates for a more confrontational, thinking approach. When I read this account I could almost feel the counselor's weariness and self-doubt. Kottler should be commended for making a strong effort to portray the realities that students will face when they enter the "real world."

I have never had a text book be so real. I feel like I can truly connect with this book and the author is very knowledgeable about new counselors. Very good insight on what to except and basically a walk though step by step in how to shape your self into a counselor. ## Frequently Bought Together - Introduction to Counseling: Voices from the Field - Counseling and Psychotherapy: A Christian Perspective - Publication Manual (OFFICIAL) 7th Edition of the American Psychological Association --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/17374866-introduction-to-counseling-voices-from-the-field](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/17374866-introduction-to-counseling-voices-from-the-field) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
