Encyclopedia of Counseling: Master Review and Tutorial for the National Counselor Examination, State Counseling Exams, and the Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination

Please do not read all of the reviews about this book and believe that you will feel extremely confident AFTER you complete the test. I, like many others, thought that I had failed. However, after receiving my scores, I passed with flying colors in every section! Thus, I recommend this book, along with Rosenthal's CDs. I had not even had my class in Appraisal yet, and still passed the section. With that said, buy the book, READ the entire book (not merely the questions), and give yourself plenty of time to prepare! Good Luck!!

I bought this book a couple years ago to study for the NCE/LPCC exam, and was very impressed. I would recommend this book to anyone who is studying for a licensing exam in counseling or the NCE.The questions are divided into the exam sections, and an explanation is given for both the correct and incorrect answers. I have leant this book to several co workers over the last two years, and each time I've had to ask for it back since they liked it so much!

I used this book (along with the audio tapes) exclusively as I studied for my NCE. When I took the exam, I found that I was well prepared and passed easily on the first try. His memory devices were particularly helpful, and inspired me to come up with others on my own.I was shocked when I got to the exam and heard people talking about spending $300 or more for study materials. You don't need to do that! Rosenthal's materials will give you what you need.

So far...a great read. Definitely enlightening and helpful for exam preparation.

I thought this book is very helpful. It covers a great deal of info.....the only thing I suggest is make sure you research other study guides before choosing just one. I brought this one and found out that there was a better study guide out there.This book covers a lot of good stuff that will be on the LPC exam but...... The 5th edition of the Study Guide for the National Counselor Examination is what ever one that I know used to prepare themselves for the exam. They never heard of Encyclopedia of Counseling.I did order the study guide...hope to get it soon.I will post again once I take my test and let Amazon know if I passed:)
