Customer Reviews

A very helpful resource

I first purchased Beating the College Blues, about five years ago, while I was an undecided and depressed college student dealing with many of the issues discussed in this book. Dr. Grayson and Dr. Meilman present frequently asked counseling session questions, culled from their experiences with over 4000 college students, and provide short, concise and USEFUL answers. Topics range from beginning college to life after graduation....and everything in between! There are chapters dealing with academic issues, personal issues, family issues, love and sex, common disorders, and even a chapter on deciding if professional counseling is something a particular reader may want to pursue. Their advice was extremely useful for me and as a future student services professional it provided an invaluable and insightful look into the unique problems encountered by the college population.. I would highly recommend this book to college students, their families, and to anyone who is interested in working with this unique and exciting group.
