For those who want the real scoop on human services!

Everyone who works in human services has at some time or another heard the remark, "you must be such a wonderful person to do such noble work". Dr. Bernstein confronts this attitude head on in her book, "Human Services . . . That must be so rewarding". She talks about the realities of working as human service professional & offers practical, real-world advice for those considering entering the field. I didn't find her "Tales of Disillusioned Diana" segments particularly helpful, but the comments of current & past professionals offer good insights & the "hands on" exercises recommended in each chapter encourage readers to apply lessons learned to their current situation. I think college professors educating future "human service" professionals will find Dr. Bernstein's offering an excellent dose of reality therapy for their students.
