This is a much more thorough review (I felt) than the Howard Rosenthal book that was promoted heavily in my school program. The advantage that I feel this has over the Rosenthal text is that it is divided into the 8 sections (like Rosenthal's), but the contents of the chapters is an outline format of the key points (likely) to come up on the NCE or CPCE. There are questions throughout each chapter to ensure that you understand what you just read, and overall I felt it was easier to learn about a theory/technique/person from this text.

At the end there are also 2 practice CPCE tests (which I just took this past weekend...and did NOT think was all that similar to the practice tests, but I still feel those tests were worthwhile) and two NCE tests. The answer sheet for the tests were done in such a way that the test taker could easily see the chapters that the most improvement is needed on--so you can know where to focus your time.

There was also a VERY detailed glossary of people, theories, techniques, etc in the back of the book which I found extremely helpful. (The Rosenthal Human Services Dictionary was a waste of my money as it left out major things.)

If you are looking for a book to buy...I studied with both Rosenthal and this book, but I'd recommend this one over Rosenthal.
