Review title: This book is great if you want to be 50 years out of date.
Product review: This book is full out completely sexist and outdated information. For example, it refers to overbearing parenting as "Momism", suggests that schizophrenia is caused by bad parenting, and regularly cites questionable research from the 1950s. I suspect that the positive reviews for this book were posted by the publisher or by the author himself. This book will actually damage you if you try to use it to learn how to be a counselor.Skip this book and read something that is actually informed by the developments from the last 50 years. Maybe in 2050 L'Abate will write about the things that are going on now.
