Customer Reviews

Excellent book for everyone

This book is very detailed and is perfect for a nursing student, practicing nurse or anyone who is interested in the theories of Crisis Intervention. I still read through the book occasionally to review everything that I have learned and it is a great help just for people in general social service situations. I highly recommend this book.

Class Assignment

I am required to purchase this book for a class assignment. The bookstore is out of the book. I am low on cash, and I need the book for psychology 641 at William Carey College. The need for this book gives it a 5 star rating in my book.(smile) I trust the professor; but, he is out of town. The gift certificate will help me purchase the book. I definitely need the book. Thank you for your assistance!
