Peer Power

This book is wonderful for anyone who is trying to start a peer helper program. It is great for teens and adults. It is especially helpful for community organizations and schools. The material presented should provide enough training to produce well rounded peer helpers in any organization.

Excellent book for students of Clinical Pastoral Education

It teaches you the best way to control and manipulate your conversation in CPE discussion groups. You will be in heavens when you see how simple and efective is this book. I used it, and my CPE group was out of control. I have difficulties with English language, I just memorized the questions and answer formulas as well as physical position in communication. Then I was on control of the conversation. It is very effective for CPE.
