Description: The authors examine the realities of clinical practice for which therapists are unprepared. Kottler and Hazler cover issues that are rarely addressed in the classroom, such as organization politics, the negatives of being a therapist, keeping up with cutting-edge innovations, sustaining a private practice, and planning for the futureand offer concrete suggestions for adapting to the world outside graduate school.
Review Quotes: [A]n excellent resource for those in graduate school or early career professionals who want to be exposed to issues, concepts, conflicts, and challenges that they had not previously considered. . . . The settings and the scenarios presented are quite varied, and this is a strength of the book. . . . It is not possible in graduate school to learn everything you need to know to be an excellent helping professional. With this volume, Kottler provides graduate students and early career professionals with a look at what might lie ahead and a way to think about what may lie ahead that cannot currently be imagined.-- "PsycCRITIQUES" (12/28/2015 12:00:00 AM)
