"Having gathered a plethora of established experts in the field of mental health counseling, the editors packed this book with content that will meet or exceed the curricular needs of any graduate counseling course; 'comprehensive' is an understatement!" -- W. Bryce Hagedorn

"A 'must-have' resource for anyone looking for a comprehensive and reader-friendly clinical mental health counseling text! The introductory chapter provides a solid context for the ensuing chapters that focus on specific topics (such as legal/ethical issues, diagnosis, supervision), all authored by leading experts. It's all here-everything that learners need to know as they embark on their professional journeys to becoming CMHCs." -- Barbara Herlihy
"Clinical Mental Health Counseling: Elements of Effective Practice is a great text for introducing students to the roles and functions of clinical mental health counseling. The authors have organized the material in a clear and engaging level which makes it appropriate for students. I particularly appreciate the documentation and evidence-based sections." -- Alfonzo Haralson
"The authors have succeeded in building a very comprehensive book, focused on the CACREP standards, that is up to date and gives new and also practical information regarding the profession. There are some chapters that are very unique for an introductory textbook (e.g., chapters devoted to billing, documentation, psychopharmacology, neuroscience, a full chapter on research). There is also some cutting-edge information included on evidence based practices. Usually, there isn't an entire chapter devoted to advocacy. Thus, instructors have to supplement the information in textbooks with the ACA Advocacy Competencies and various articles and examples. The chapter on advocacy is a treasure because it is comprehensive and really introduces the students to the counselor advocacy role up front!" -- Heather Trepal
"The authors were able to invite contributors that are known experts in their field. They write from a strong theoretical base and are practitioners in their areas of expertise." -- Judith G. Miranti
"This book provides the most comprehensive knowledge, skills, and applications about mental health practice in community settings." -- Kananur V. Chandras
"By offering a text that can provide a thorough foundation for counselor trainees, Young & Cashwell have offered Counselor Educators a much-needed tool for bridging a significant gap in counselor training." -- Kathleen Woods
"Clinical Mental Health Counseling: Elements of Effective Practice is current, thorough, and student friendly." -- Lakitta Johnson
"Clinical Mental Health Counseling: Elements of Effective Practice is a comprehensive overview of a complex topic." -- Robert C. Schwartz
