Practitioners Books

Dr. Zieman's Handbook gives psychology, social work, psychiatry, and counseling students and professionals a ready guide to understanding the labyrinth of modern day behavioral health care. It provides a clear context for historical issues, thoroughly surveys the present landscape, and prepares us for future changes in the behavioral healthcare world.

Dr. Zieman's clear, candid approach makes it refreshingly accessible. Most importantly, Zieman is a straight shooter, speaks from his heart, and yes, he tells it like it is. No need to wonder where he stands on an issue. He is not afraid to challenge the managed care power structure, nor is he hesitant to point out where anti-managed care therapists are misguided, at least, in his opinion.

How do I know all of this? Well, I have taught a doctoral level course in Managed Care and Brief Therapy for 9 years, and have adopted this book as a text for the course... it has been a great success.

This is the first book I've read on functional verification not to talk about whitebox/blackbox blah blah, but all useful and practical tricks/best practices. I've just finished a systemverilog DV project with Mike. I joined the project half-way. I would say it was so easy for me to pick up the verification code and got up to speed. Lots of the tricks talked in the book were applied to this project, such as the logging output format, irritator, the "dance", directory structure, listener connection... The environment was done in a very neat and adaptable way.

Personally I believe C++ is going to excel in the long run in the DV field. Because there is basicly no limitation on what you can do with C++. You have better control than with the current proprietary and sometimes arcane HVLs.

I highly recommend this book to intermediate to advanced DVer.

I ordered this book for school and i recieved the book within 5 days. The book was in excellent condition and I got a great price for it. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Helping Schoolchildren Cope with Anger: A Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention by Jim Larson (Professor of Psychology and Director of the School Psychology Program, University of Wisconsin - Whitewater) and John Lochman (Professor and Saxon Chairholder in clinical Psychology, University of Alabama, and Adjunct Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke University Medical Center) is a straightfoward, solution-oriented guide to dealing with chronic aggression in young students, particularly those ranging in age from 8 to 12 years. This invaluable, accessible work is based upon the latest studies and findings on childhood aggression, and presents the principles behind the authors' own approaches to teaching young folks how to cope with anger, along with session-by-session guidelines, and a great deal more, Helping Schoolchildren Cope with Anger is a first-rate supplement to professional help for disturbed children and highly recommended for professional and academic reference collections in the field of anger management studies.

I am a current MSW student who is interested in working in the field of HIV/AIDS. This book proves to be a valuable resource. Full of great and reliable information!

This is a great resource for school administrators and families. It's definitely the type of book you want to keep handy to use as a guide for children with ADHD. It's very practical, useful, and easy to understand.

I found this book as a New Entrepreneur Nurse Practitioner to be extremely informative, well written in a step by step approach and easy to read.

Conservatively, this book has helped me earn at least an extra $[...] in personal income and has probably helped my consulting and other services clients earn millions beyond what they would have earned otherwise.

I have 100% of my clients buy this book and Alan's "Value-Based Fees" and have them read both within the first 30 days of working with me. Without exception they complain about how much the books cost until they land their first deal where they deliver, often for the first time, what their clients really want/need and get paid as much as 4X their normal rates with new and old clients thanking them for delivering so much more value for the dollar. See the testamonials at [...] for inspiration.

Alan Weiss is the master, in my opinion, of delivering the win-win-win. The reader wins, the reader's business wins, and the reader's clients are the biggest winners.

If you can't make this book earn 100X it's cost in the next 90 days you probably shouldn't be in business.

This book is invaluable for trainners,HR practitioners and line managers who are being introduced to HPI (Human Performance Improvement) principles and practice.

The authors, all consultants and training specialists, advocate the use of HPI(human performance improvement ),a tool they argue can help build intellectual capital and establish and maintain a "high- performance workplace, enhance profitability, and encourage productivity.I highly recommend this book

Highly recommended.
