`This is the book I was looking for before, during and after training. It provides clarity and dispenses with the anxiety associated with the belief that I never quite knew the whole picture. It enables trainee and new practitioner alike to draw boundaries around how much is necessary to know at any given time, and helps individuals prioritise in a way that doesn't overwhelm. The chapters are accessible, clear and compact... The unity in the book is remarkable and is a tribute to Bor and Watts... They state in their introduction that it was written in response to trainees' questions, and, for myself, the time wasted not knowing where to look or who or what to ask could have been very well served by this timely edition'

`The book was refreshingly realistic, recognizing that trainees have lives and commitments outside their training course and that the task of juggling all the different demands is not an easy one....I would definitely recommend this book to fellow trainees. I think it will become a `must have' at the start of any course and an essential resource to be referred to over and over' - Counselling Psychology Review
