Practitioners Books

Coming from near zero it would be hard for me to compare books for quality. However this one hit the spot for me. I needed a good overview. You can not be a live and not know something about Wicca and I have many books that refer to Wicca. However that is like reading biographies vs. autobiographies. Not saying any one is more real than the other.

Scott Cunningham's book was not only well written but easy to follow. There were more than enough references, tables, and appendices. You were moved from what Wicca was not, including magic, to that which it is including the fundamentals of the religion. His center point being that you will never know it by just reading.

He delivers what the book promises. This book is designed for the Solitary Practitioner. And any perceived shortcomings or comparisons to more in-depth or complete books must be weighed against the purpose of this book. He also does a good job of compare and contrast to other religions with great insight.

In his discussion he skirts around, subjects as magnetism, altered-states, hypnoses, and the like. Now these subjects I can relate to and use as a reference point to begin to understand Wicca.

I am not going to rush out and buy a non-Shaker shaped broom. I already have some left over advent candles, and a place in the library for this Book.

I am glad to have my own copy of this book. Good material. The book was in great shape and delivered promply.

Generally speaking, auditing is the most difficult subject for CPA exam candidates. While most of candidates have no experince about auditing, the questions of CPA exam deal focus on not theoretical area but practical audit problem. I strongly recommend this book as essential reference for CPA exam preparation.

An excellent resource for all CPAs to conduct audits, evaluate results, and provide feedback.

Consolidates SAS, SAP, FAS, GAAS, and GAAP

This text is a great resource for graduate students as well as practicing Learning Consultants.

Studied this book for 2 weeks and passed the NCC exam on my first try! Very informative and precise explanation of diagnoses and treatments which eliminates the "fluff" encountered in most other books. Get this book!!!

This review for WHNP exam is excellent. The most helpful portion of this text was the extensive rational given for each question. Because the authors were so generous in their explanations of each correct and incorrect answer, I rarely had to go outside of this book to obtain further information. I found the information to be up-to-date, accurate, and realistic; not just theoretical, but information that nurse practitioners need to know on a frequent basis. If you use only one book for review, this would be my choice!

Bryan Robinson has written a highly readable, yet exceedingly specific and "hands-on" training book for the treatment of children of alcoholics. He is able to capture their specific clinical problem areas, and to give step by step instruction in ways to intervene. His description of the use of groupwork has been invaluable to this clinician, both in my own clinical work, and in my role as teacher to other clinicians.He is also able to incorporate the research of other pioneers in this field in in order to substantiate his ideas

Behavior problems with children are always a touchy subject for many, having to face the parents if they do something to offend them. "Working with Parents of Noncompliant Children: A Guide to Evidence-Based Parent Training for Practitioners and Students" is a guide for training parents to better deal with their children and their behavioral and attitude problems that so often come up. Teaching valuable techniques for any psychologist or other professional, and enhanced with appendixes, bibliographies, and more, "Working with Parents of Noncompliant Children: A Guide to Evidence-Based Parent Training for Practitioners and Students" is a must for community library psychology collections.

I have read many books on ADHD and this is the best one I have found. It contains "the basics" plus more detailed information about why ADHD kids do the annoying things they do! For example, I get very frustrated when my son misbehaves but demonstrates afterward that he knew how he SHOULD have acted. This book explains why. The book also contains sample behavior charts, medication effectiveness questionnaires, etc. I have already given a copy to my son's school principal (there is a special section in it for teachers) and am now ordering one for myself.
