Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

NCMHCE Study Guide

 

NCMHCE Study Guide, Ariadne Blaine, 2023

Are you interested in becoming a mental health counselor? Do you want to assist people with ADHD, anorexia or PTSD? This book is here to help.

Be very sure of the requirements to be a mental health counselor in your state. Some states may require the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Exam, while other states may just recommend it. 

It is very difficult for any counselor to accurately diagnose a patient based on, for instance, one personal observation. There are many tools available (CBT, MRI, Rorschach test, etc.). The book also looks at professional ethics and what to do in an emergency. Aside from knowing the right answers, the test taker also has to interpret the situation and use the appropriate counseling method. Of course, there is a practice test in the back of the book, with answers and explanations.

This is a very good review of the information needed for the license exam. It is very much worth the money.
