Encyclopedia of Counseling Package: Complete Review Package for the National Counselor Examination, State Counseling Exams, and Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination (CPCE)

"Rosenthal does it again! His updated book hammers home the points and information beginning counselors need for upcoming exams or seasoned counselors need for refresher. I also bought and listened to his audio cd set for further instruction. He explains theory and techniques in such an easy-to-understand fashion. I fully expect to pass the NCE after completing reading his book and finishing the cds. I'll update this review after I've taken the exam."

"I used Rosenthal's Encyclopedia and his tapes (I was given an older version by a friend who was already licensed) to study for my NCE. Many of my friends found themselves having to take the exam a second and third time because they could not pass what they said was an "impossible exam." I, on the other hand, passed on the first try and got a very high score. I even had whole sections where I got ever answer correct! I credit my success to Rosenthal's study materials. They are clear, easy to use, and Rosenthal's tapes/CDs are intersting to listen to. Rosenthal uses a number of pneumonic devices and little tricks to help you remember things. I recommend these materials very highly to anyone who wants to pass the NCE--and remember, whatever you spend on these materials will be far cheaper than taking the exam a second time!"

"I already knew that The Encyclopedia of Counseling is a great study guide. It has great questions plus the answers come with teaching information about that answer or some of the other choices so you know why those are not correct. When ordering my own copy from Amazon, I found that they offered a package that also contains a complete set of teaching CDs and the Human Services Dictionary which contains people, terms, theories, and other information. These were bundled together for a price less than buying each alone. I find the information very helpful in preparing for the NCE in that it gives me both visual and auditory in studying the information. "
