    by Routledge

    This new edition of Vital Information and Review Questions for the NCE, CPCE and State Counseling Exams sticks to the successful structure of the previous versions, each of which has demonstrated to be a valuable resource for anyone preparing for these difficult exams. Two new Discs have been added to this new edition, bringing the total to 20 audio CDs and over 20 hours of programming.

    The material covered on the CDs is arranged into nine major areas, containing explanations of terms, concepts, and inter-relationships between subjects. Key definitions, theories and techniques are discussed, and appraisal, research, and evaluation methods are presented in an easily-understood format. The set also includes 325 tutorial questions, supplemented with additional information on all nine major areas of the National Counselor Examination. Two new CDs present "Cutting Edge Ethics," an illumination of the huge changes from the past that were set forth by the ACA's 2005 Code of Ethics, and "Ask Dr. Rosenthal, " in which Dr. Rosenthal shares correspondence he has received from listeners who have contacted him with specific questions or asked for additional explanations of material.
